Abstract

A visual survey of the downtown area of Georgetown, Grand Cayman in March 2019 revealed the presence of Pheidole megacephala, which had been absent in previous surveys. A mapping of the current range of the colony cluster in the city showed that it occupied at least one block, an area of approximately 1 hectare. No other ant species were found in that area, although Paratrechina longicornis, a Brachymyrmex sp., Trichomyrmex  destructor, and Solenopsis invicta fire ants were present surrounding that block.
