Pheidole

Pheidole is the world's most species-rich ant genus. They have a cosmopolitan distribution but are particularly diverse in the tropics. Pheidole have a pronounced worker caste polymorphism; major workers are considerably larger than minors and have disproportionately large heads. Some species are seed harvesters.
