Description
Due to their habit of building their nests in wood, Camponotus nicobarensis is also referred to as the carpenter ant. They are a rapidly expanding species that is very well-liked by ant keepers. Although primarily nocturnal and active, they will consume large amounts of protein. They have a special ability to tap their feet to warn other ants nearby when there is danger. This action can be heard with our own ears and is quite fascinating to observe.
