Camponotus chromaiodes, known generally as, the ferruginous carpenter ant or red carpenter ant, is a species of ant in the family Formicidae. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Acetobacteraceae are found in the guts of workers in this species. [8]
The Formicinae are a subfamily within the Formicidae containing ants of moderate evolutionary development.
Carpenter ants are large ants indigenous to many forested parts of the world.
Colobopsis anderseni, synonym Camponotus anderseni, is a species of mangrove ant found in northern Australia.
Notostigma is a genus of ants in the subfamily Formicinae. Its two species are known only from Australia. Workers are nocturnal and forage solitarily. Notostigma was first described by Emery (1920), when he erected the new genus for three species of carpenter ants (Camponotus).
Camponotus sexguttatus is a species of ant in the family Formicidae.
Camponotus planatus, known generally as the compact carpenter ant or short carpenter ant, is one of three Camponotus species that is polygynous, or has more than one queen. It is a species of ant in the family Formicidae.
Camponotus quercicola is a species of ant in the family Formicidae that is endemic to California and commonly nests in oak trees, as they usually inhabit oak forests.
Myrmelachistini is a tribe of ants in the family Formicidae. There are at least 2 genera and 50 described species in Myrmelachistini.
Lasiini is a tribe of ants in the family Formicidae. There are about 10 genera and more than 450 described species in Lasiini.
Brachymyrmex patagonicus is a species of ant in the family Formicidae. B. patagonicus, commonly known as the dark rover ant, is native to Argentina and Paraguay. They were first reported in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana in 1978 from a single colony collected in 1976. It is believed that the species was introduced through New Orleans, which is a common entry point for many tropical species, but other locations such as Mobile, Alabama, or Pensacola, Florida, are also likely. For many years B. patagonicus, B. musculus, and B. obscurior were misidentified as being separate species but after a comparison of specimens from the Louisiana State University Arthropod Collection (LSUC), it was found that all three were the same species. B. patagonicus is considered a nuisance pest due to their tendency to infest man made structures but they have received a lack of attention because they do not bite, sting, or carry disease.
Camponotus castaneus, the red hazelnut carpenter ant, is a species of ant in the family Formicidae. It is a primarily orangish-red ant in the family Camponotus. Its workers are usually around 8-10 mm, and queens around 18-20 mm. As with most Camponotus species, camponotus castaneus has majors and super-majors, usually appearing in the second or third year of the colony's founding, majors are usually 10-14 mm, with super majors being around 13-17 mm. Camponotus castaneus has a generalist diet, feeding on insects and carbohydrates such as honeydew, which is easily accessible. This ant is not a pest therefore you should not use pesticides against them. The ant has a smooth thorax and abdomen, with 1 node separating them.
Formica ravida is a species of ant in the family Formicidae.
Formica obscuriventris is a species of ant in the family Formicidae.
Formica moki is a species of ant in the family Formicidae.
Formica neogagates is a species of ant in the family Formicidae. Found throughout North America and Canada, introduced in Europe, France.
Formica archboldi is a species of ant in the family Formicidae. They are known for their abnormal behavior, which includes the collection and storage of Odontomachus (trap-jaw) ant skulls.
Camponotus vittatus is a species of carpenter ant and one of the most common ants found around households in South America, particularly Brazil. It was originally described by Auguste Forel in 1904. The species is relatively large, caramel-coloured, omnivorous, and fast-moving. The species presents four larval stages which will spin a cocoon to pupate. The hairs of Camponotus larvae are quite abundant, and may present taxonomic importance. The larvae of both sexes are similar, with few diagnostic traits, such as the acquired shape towards pupation inside their cocoons.
Colobopsis is a genus of ant in the subfamily Formicinae. This genus was first described in 1861 by Mayr and contains 95 species. The type species is Colobopsis truncata.
