Description

Camponotus maculatus subnudus – exotic dynamics in yellow and black colours

Camponotus maculatus subnudus is one of the most striking species within the Camponotus genus, originating from the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. Its distinctive colouring – contrasting yellow and black segments – makes it difficult to take your eyes off it. Unlike the African variety maculatus, the subnudus version is slightly lighter in colour, more active and adapted to living in a warmer, more humid climate – thanks to which it does not require hibernation in captivity and can be observed throughout the year.

These ants combine spectacular appearance, diverse castes (large soldiers!) and a very active lifestyle. The perfect choice for anyone looking for a colony that is “visible” and does not hide in its nest all the time.

What distinguishes Camponotus maculatus subnudus?

  • Colouring tropical – a yellow thorax, black abdomen and contrasting dark eyes create a unique pattern that distinguishes them from other Camponotus species.

  • No need for wintering – this is a tropical species that does not hibernate, which means it is active all year round and there are no breaks in breeding.

  • A distinct soldier caste – major workers can grow to impressive sizes, looking great in arenas and formicaria.

  • Live colony – fast, active, often present in the arena. Perfect for everyday observation.

  • Dynamic reactions – colonies respond to food provision with an organised attack and expansion – it is clear that these ants have a strong instinct for action.

An interesting fact about entomology

Camponotus maculatus subnudus is an example of adaptive variation within a single species. Variants from different geographical regions differ in colour, lifespan and caste dynamics. The Asian variant is particularly valued among breeders for the longevity of its queen, its aesthetic colouring and the stable development of its colonies.

For whom?

This species is suitable for both novice breeders and more advanced enthusiasts who want to develop tropical colonies without the need for wintering. Due to their size, activity and ease of observation, they look great in large formicaria with an extensive arena.
