Golden-tailed Sugar Ant - Camponotus nigroaneus or C. aeneopilosus

Subfamily Formicinae

This page contains pictures and information about Golden-tailed Sugar Ants that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.

Body length 10mm

 

Golden-tailed Sugar Ants are black in colour with a golden abdomen. The body colour scheme looks very similar to the very common species Golden Spiny Ants, which are also commonly found on large gum tree trunk.

 

 

Usually a few of them were found running slowing on large tree trunk of smooth bark gumtree.
