Pheidole vistana is a species of big-headed ant native to Nevada, Arizona, California, Baja California, Baja California Sur, and Sonora.[1][2][3][4][5] Its diet apparently consists of only insects, and many workers will cooperate to efficiently transport prey into the nest. It is a primarily nocturnal species that may rarely forage on overcast days. Large rings of sand often surround its nest entrances.[6] The species is named after its type locality of Vista, California in San Diego County.[5]
