Camponotus vicinus is a species of ant in the subfamily formicinae.[1][2][3][4] C. vicinus is widespread throughout western North America, from Alaska, south to Mexico, and east to Texas and Manitoba.[5] Unlike its wood nesting "carpenter ant" relatives, Camponotus vicinus is typically found nesting in the soil under stones and other objects.[5] The giant ants in the 1954 film Them! are identified as C. vicinus, despite multiple anatomical differences, including the presence of a sting, which is absent in Formicine ants.
