Camponotus solon care sheet

Camponotus solon is a close relative of the famous Camponotus maculatus: beautiful, easy to keep and fast-growing, it stands out with a queen whose yellow markings sit under the gaster and workers with a yellow gradient on the gaster instead of a checkered pattern. Mostly nocturnal in the wild, it will delight any keeper looking for a beautiful exotic species!
