Carpenter ants are large ants indigenous to many forested parts of the world.
The banded sugar ant, also known as the sugar ant, is a species of ant native to Australia. A member of the genus Camponotus in the subfamily Formicinae, it was described by German entomologist Wilhelm Ferdinand Erichson in 1842. Its common name refers to the ant's liking for sugar and sweet food, as well as the distinctive orange-brown band that wraps around its gaster.
Camponotus japonicus, commonly known as the Japanese carpenter ant, is a species of ant native to eastern Asia. It is black, and one of the largest ants. A nest has about ten to thousands of individuals, and it can be a pest when it enters households or protects aphids. There are several subspecies of this ant in different areas of Asia, with the largest of the species being located in northern China.
Camponotus texanus is a species of ant in the family Formicidae.
Camponotus tortuganus is a species of ant in the family Formicidae.
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.
Camponotus vicinus is a species of ant in the subfamily formicinae. C. vicinus is widespread throughout western North America, from Alaska, south to Mexico, and east to Texas and Manitoba. Unlike its wood nesting "carpenter ant" relatives, Camponotus vicinus is typically found nesting in the soil under stones and other objects. The giant ants in the 1954 film Them! are identified as C. vicinus, despite multiple anatomical differences, including the presence of a sting, which is absent in Formicine ants.
Camponotus discolor is a species of ant in the family Formicidae.

Camponotus fellah is a species of ant in the subfamily Formicinae found across the Middle East and North Africa. This species was formally described by Dalla Torre in 1893. A C. fellah queen holds the record for Israeli ant longevity, surviving for 26 years (1983-2009) in a laboratory environment.
An ant garden is a mutualistic interaction between certain species of arboreal ants and various epiphytic plants. It is a structure made in the tree canopy by the ants that is filled with debris and other organic matter in which epiphytes grow. The ants benefit from this arrangement by having a stable framework on which to build their nest while the plants benefit by obtaining nutrients from the soil and from the moisture retained there.
Dendromyrmex is a subgenus of carpenter ants.
