Bearded Carpenter ant
Camponotus subbarbatus
The Bearded Carpenter Ant is a busy little insect that loves to build its home in wood. They have fuzzy, bearded-looking jaws that help them carry food and build their nests.
生息地: Forests
外見
The Bearded Carpenter ant has a reddish-brown head and thorax, often with a darker, sometimes black, abdomen. Its defining feature is a distinct 'beard' of stiff bristles, called psammophores, located beneath its head. This coloration and beard help distinguish it from other carpenter ant species.
