Camponotus sanctus is a magnificent species from Africa. Its coloration is orange-yellow with black on the abdomen and head and its particularly impressive size (even the young workers are larger than all European Camponotus at the same stage).

Camponotus sanctus has a minor worker caste of approximately 6-7mm and later, a major worker caste appears with a developed head and a size of around 1.5cm to 1.8cm. The “small” minor workers are lighter and vary from transparent yellow to darker orange depending on the colony.

The breeding of Camponotus sanctus is easy, the food is varied and particular, it consists of jellies, sweet liquids, insects etc. Wintering is not necessary. It is thus more accessible than the European Camponotus…

Size of the queen Camponotus sanctus: about 15mm
Size of the workers: 6/7mm.
Up to 18mm for the majors who arrive later in the colony. Day temperature: 27-30°C for good development
Night temperature: 19-24°C.
Humidity: Low.
Only small part of the nest should be moist. Wintering: not necessary
