This species like most Solenopsis are fast growing and can have many thousands of workers. Need a high intake of protein such as insects to keep up with colony growth. Good escape prevention needed as they are known to be escape artists. The species is a thief ant and usually has its nest near another species, stealing food by entering the foreign colony through minute tunnels dug from their own nest
