Black Carpenter Ant Male (Drone)
Camponotus pennsylvanicus (drone)
Black carpenter ant males develop in nest chambers but leave during warm breeding flights, often gathering around lights and other mating sites. They mainly take in sugary liquids as adults and devote their brief lives to finding a queen. A notable fact is that males are winged and die soon after mating, unlike the long-lived queens they fertilize.
