These are some of the largest ants in Canada. Differing from C. pennsylvanicus, this species has a strikingly colored red thorax. Contrary to popular belief, these ants do not eat the wood that they nest in.
Majors (the soldier caste) of this species can be almost as large as the queen! Queens are normally around 14-17mm while workers from 5-13mm.These ants are an awesome beginner species and are excellent for classroom displays. Workers can be very fast and agile so good escape prevention is required.
