Solenopsis invicta |
Fire ants are ~2-6 mm long: variation in size is one distinguishing characteristics. They are coppery-brown in colour on the head and body, with a darker abdomen. The ant mound or nest has no obvious entry or exit holes. When the mound is disturbed, dozens to hundreds of reddish-brown worker ants crawl up the vertical surfaces (grass and other objects) on and around the mound. |

Camponotus pennsylvanicus |
Numerous erect hairs are present on the dorsal surface of the alitrunk, petiole, and the entire surface of the gaster. Appressed pubescence is sparse on most surfaces of the body, although fairly abundant on the dorsum of the alitrunk, somewhat scattered on the side of the propodeum, and very abundant and lon gon the gaster; USA.

black carpenter ant |
Camponotus pennsylvanicus |
Body length 6-13 mm long. All castes of this species are black or blackish, although some specimens have dark, reddish-brown coloration on the propodeum, petiole, base of gaster, or bases of legs. Numerous erect hairs are present on the dorsal surface of the alitrunk, petiole, and the entire surface of the gaster. Appressed pubescence is sparse on most surfaces of the body, although fairly abundant on the dorsum of the alitrunk, somewhat scattered on the side of the propodeum, and very abundant and long on the gaster. The appressed hairs on the gaster are longer than elsewhere on the body (almost as long as the erect hairs), and most of the hairs overlap bases of hairs positioned more posteriorly; USA.
