Camponotus vittatus is a species of carpenter ant and one of the most common ants found around households in South America, particularly Brazil . It was originally described by Auguste Forel in 1904.[1] The species is relatively large, caramel-coloured, omnivorous,[2] and fast-moving. The species presents four larval stages which will spin a cocoon to pupate.[3] The hairs of Camponotus larvae are quite abundant, and may present taxonomic importance.[3][4] The larvae of both sexes are similar, with few diagnostic traits, such as the acquired shape towards pupation inside their cocoons.[5]
