Camponotus singularis is a species of ant that is native to Asia. [1] It is a large species, with workers' sizes reaching up to 18 mm (0.71 in) and queens reaching up to 20 mm (0.79 in). It usually has a red head and a black/grey body. Sometimes Camponotus singularis colonies live in the top and middle sections of tropical rainforest canopies.
The queens can reach a length of 19–21 mm and the largest workers (super majors) can achieve similar sizes of around 14–17 mm . They, along with several other Camponotus species, are among the largest species of ant in North America. As with all ants, the antennae are geniculate (elbowed).
