Camponotus
is abundant and diverse nearly everywhere in the world. This ubiquitous formicine genus contains our familiar carpenter ants, as well as some tropical weaver ants and desert honeypot ants.
Most Camponotus are docile, timid insects. Not Camponotus floridanus, the Florida Carpenter Ant . These large red-and-black ants are quick to bite when bothered.
