Carpenter ants are one of the most common species of insects and live in huge populations. They are the largest of all ants in the United States ranging from 3.4 to 13 mm long. The most common color is black, but some species have reddish or yellowish coloration. Worker ants in these populations have large mandibles to carry things.
Carpenter ants are great adapters and that is why they are good at surviving both indoors and outdoors. Their preferable habitat is moist, decaying or hollow wood. They cut galleries into the wood gran to form pathways so that the colonies can move freely throughout the nest.
