Carpenter Ant Worker
Camponotus ligniperda
Carpenter ant workers forage across woodland floors, tree trunks, and buildings, nesting in damp or decaying wood without eating it. They consume honeydew, nectar, and small insects, carrying useful food back to the nest. When threatened, a worker can bite with its mandibles and release formic acid as a chemical defense.
