Camponotus sanctus is a magnificent species from Africa. Its coloration is orange-yellow with black on the abdomen and head and its size is particularly impressive (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 in color and vary from transparent yellow to darker orange depending on the colony.

Raising Camponotus sanctus is easy; their diet is varied and unique, consisting of jellies, sugary liquids, insects, etc. Overwintering is not necessary. This makes them more accessible than European Camponotus species

Queen size (Camponotus sanctus): approximately 15 mm.
Worker size: 6-7 mm. Up to 18 mm for majors, which arrive later in the colony.
Daytime temperature: 27-30°C for optimal development
Nighttime temperature: 19-24°C.
Humidity: Low. Only a small part of the nest should be damp.
