Camponotus subbarbatus

Distribution based on Regional Taxon Lists
Nearctic Region: United States.

Biology
MacGown (2006) examined ants nesting or occupying hickory nuts in the Tombigbee National Forest (Ackerman Unit), Mississippi. While several hickory species were present, ants were found almost exclusively in the nuts of Carya glabra. Two specimens of Camponotus subbarbatus were found in a nut, although they were not nesting there.
