Camponotus edmondi

Camponotus edmondi is known from Madagascar, Comore, and Mayotte Islands. In Madagascar, it is generally distributed along the eastern littoral forests and in human-modified habitats. In neighboring islands, the species occurs also in coastal forests and disturbed forest habitats. Rarely is it found in rainforest between 130 m and 650 m of altitude. Foraging is done arboreally and nests sites are in dead twigs and branches above the ground. (Rakotonirina, Csősz & Fisher, 2016)
