They form large, distinctive nest craters that are covered with leaf fragments.

Living and dead leaves are collected by workers and used to cultivate fungus gardens.

Individuals of A. versicolor are a variety of sizes due to the division of labour seen within their colony.

Mating flights begin in the early morning when individuals of both sexes emerge from the colony.

[6] During the cooler spring and fall months, A. versicolor have diurnal foraging activity.

During the hotter summer months, they tend to forage more at night when the soil temperatures are cooler.

[8] Building nests under trees allows colonies to remain below lethal temperatures and also does not require them to be so deep (2–3 cm).
