Camponotus maculatus (African)

Discover the striking Camponotus maculatus, a stunning species of African carpenter ant prized for its distinct colouration and fascinating caste system. Featuring a vibrant yellowish-brown body with signature dark banding or ‘spots’ across the gaster, these ants are a beautiful addition to any collection. They are a highly polymorphic species, meaning you will enjoy observing the distinct sizes and roles of minor, media, and formidable major workers. Hardy and relatively fast-growing once established, Camponotus maculatus offers a rewarding keeping experience for both enthusiastic beginners and seasoned myrmecologists.
