Description:
Carpenter ants (Camponotus) are large (0.3 to 1.0 in or 0.76 to 2.54 cm) ants indigenous to many forested parts of the world. They build nests inside wood consisting of galleries chewed out with their mandibles, preferably in dead, damp wood. Contrary to popular belief, carpenter ants do not actually eat wood because they are unable to digest cellulose. They only create tunnels and nests within it. Most species of carpenter ants forage at night. When foraging, they usually collect and consume dead insects. ÐампоноÑÑÑ - ÑамÑй ÑаÑпÑоÑÑÑанÑннÑй в миÑе Ñод мÑÑавÑÑв, обÑединÑÑÑий около 1000 видов.
