Native harvester red ants, not to be mistaken for invasive fire ants, help loosen and fertilize soil. They harvest seeds to eat too. All the workers within a harvester mound are sister workers. These special ants are a primary food source for endangered horned
Lizards. Florentino Martinez's exquisite pipestone harvester red ant is about 3" long, 3/4" wide and 1 1/4" tall. The fine details such as antennae, segmented body and legs are incredibly worked. We can help both the harvester red ants and horned lizards by not destroying their ant mounds.
