Messor Barbarus commonly known as The Harvester Ant.
Messor are a really intresting slightly larger species with major workers and some cool other traits. They mainly eat seed but do require a top up of protein via insects. Queens are light sensitive so total darkness is required. Red does not work for Messor Barbarus from my own personal experience.
