Popis:	The food habits of Solenopsis saevissima richteri Forel in pasture and young loblolly pine stands in southeastern Louisiana were studied in 1967. Foraging material was collected by exposing foraging trails and capturing each ant transporting a particle to the mound entrance. Material obtained in the pine areas totaled 3969 items or an average of 47.80 items an hour. Termites constituted the largest foraging item and composed 16.32% of the foraging material. A total of 3732 items was taken in pasture areas for an average of 56.54 items per hour. Collembola made up 12.90% of the collected material in pasture sites.
