Ethiop Carpenter Ant
Camponotus aethiops
Ethiop carpenter ants inhabit warm African habitats, nesting in soil, dead wood, and sheltered crevices. Adults forage for sugary honeydew and nectar as well as insects and other protein-rich food. Their strong mandibles can bite in defense, and like other formicine ants they can use formic acid as a chemical deterrent.
