Probably impossible to tell what species it is, but I have observed them harvesting Erythrostemon gilliesii leaves, and what appears to be an insect egg.

Desert Leaf-cutter Ant (Acromyrmex versicolor)Observer
dougdarDescription
Acromyrmex versicolor is known as the desert leafcutting ant. A. versicolor is found during the summer months in the Colorado and Sonoran deserts when there is precipitation. They form large, distinctive nest craters that are covered with leaf fragments. Living and dead leaves are collected by workers and used to cultivate fungus gardens. Each colony has multiple queens, which is a practice called pleometrosis,and each queen has her own batch of “starter” fungus.

Single worker in berlese. Will check with J. MacGown to see if he agrees, as apparently M. americana can be quite variable.
