Camponotus sp concurrens

Camponotus concurrens - The "Mini-Giant" of Asia.

Queen (swarming 2024) + 100 to 150 workers + Brood.

🐜 Why choose this species?

Camponotus concurrens is proof that size isn't everything. Native to the tropical forests of Thailand, this small Camponotus compensates for its stature with boundless activity and a fascinating morphology.

My favorite: What fascinates me about Camponotus concurrens is their storage capacity. Don't be fooled by their size: the majors in physogastry (abdomen swollen with food) are so impressive that you could almost mistake them for the queen! It's a perfect species for those who want to observe rich social behavior without the bulk of a giant nest.
