thumbnail ''Dorymyrmex bureni'' also known as pyramid ant is a species of ant in the genus ''Dorymyrmex''. Described by Trager in 1988, the species is endemic to the United States and Mexico.〔Trager, J. C. 1988a. A revision of ''Conomyrma'' (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) from the southeastern United States, especially Florida, with keys to the species. ''Fla. Entomol.'' 71: 11-29 (page 19, figs. 2, 9, 19, 20 worker, queen described)〕 Pyramid ants are medium sized ants, ranging from 2-4 mm. They are light orange in color and fast moving. Unlike other ants in the area like red imported fire ants, this species is not aggressive towards people. The workers have a foul smelling coconut odor when crushed. ''Dorymyrmex bureni'' hunt living insects, even other winged ants. They also search for sap-sucking insects from which they collect honeydew. On the head of these ants are curved hairs, used for transporting beads of damp sand. Colonies are small. Nests usually have a single entrance with a mound of sand shaped like a crater. ''Dorymyrmex bureni'' prefer sandy soil. This species of ant is not an indoor pest, pesticides should not be used. They are found through out Florida. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://flrec.ifas.ufl.edu/entomo/ants/pest%20ants%20of%20fl/pyramid_ant.htm )〕 ==References==
