Camponotus schmitzi
''Camponotus schmitzi'' is a species of carpenter ant native to Borneo,〔 Schuitemaker, J.P. & A. Stärcke 1933. ''Overdruk uit het Natuurhistorisch Maandblad'' 22(3): 29–31.〕 which is commonly known as the diving ant, swimming ant or pitcher-plant ant, due to their habit of diving into the digestive fluids of their plant host ''Nepenthes bicalcarata''. They are endemic to the island of Borneo.〔
==Description==
''C. schmitzi'' closely resemble ''Camponotus ceylonicus'' but are slightly larger. They have rectangular heads about one and a half times as long as they are wide. The mandibles have five teeth each (except for the minor workers which have four). The eyes are widely separated and located laterally, slightly behind the anterior bulge of the head. The antennae are short, with a scape at in length. The funicules are longer than they are wide proximally and become shorter and wider towards the tip. The body is smooth and shiny. The gaster is small. The legs are relatively large, especially the femurs, and very compressed laterally. Spines are present near the distal tip of the femurs and absent in the tibiae. The tarsi are longer than the tibiae.〔
''C. schmitzi'' exhibit polymorphism, with three physical castes - minor, median, and major ("soldier") workers. The queen averages at a length of with wings measuring long. The major and median workers are both in length, while the minor workers are long. They are brownish-yellow to reddish-orange in color; the head and gaster are darker than the rest of the body.〔
The larvae are typical of ''Camponotus'' larvae - cylindrical in shape with the head and mouthparts bent at a 90 degree angle from the body.〔
