Camponotus vagus : ウィキペディア英語版 | Camponotus vagus
''Camponotus vagus'' is a species of large, black, West Palaearctic carpenter ant with a wide range that includes much of Europe, a large area of Asia, and part of Africa.〔(Norwegian Journal of Entomology )〕〔(Encyclopedia of Life: Camponotus vagus (Scopoli, 1763) )〕 ==Description== ''Camponotus vagus'' is a relatively distinctive species that is easily identified by its large size, uniform black colour, and the long and dense body "hairs" on its exoskeleton. A eusocial insect, individuals have continuous allometric variation in size and morphology to facilitate task allocation and partitioning of work. Workers are 6–12 mm in length.〔 The larger "major workers" act as guards for in defence of the colony and protect the smaller "minor workers" when the latter go foraging outside the nests. The powerful mandibles of the major workers are capable of decapitating smaller arthropods captured as food and dismembering smaller ants of other species.〔(Ant Hill Wood )〕
