Pheidole indagatrix

This common species occurs in wet to moist forest habitats. It also occurs across a broad range of elevations, from sea level to 1500m. At low elevations it is often in shaded forest understory, while at high elevation it occurs in open areas where sun reaches the ground (pastures, forest gaps). It occurs on the ground and has been observed foraging dirunally and nocturnally. It recruits to baits. It has been observed nesting under dead wood on the ground and in the low arboreal zone. The arboreal nests have been in cavities or under accreted soil.
