Description:<\/strong><\/td>\n\"\"<\/td>\nThis species is a highly granivor ant which collects all kinds of small seeds and chew them into so- called antbread. Most of their waterrequirements are covered by seeds and insects. Honeywater is only accepted when there is a lack of moisture. Messor barbarus tends to drown in open water so it is necessary to cover waterplaces with little stones or cotton.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
