Camponotus feae

Canary Islands, low to mid altitude species: sea level to 1000m (a southern, very dry slope). All populations from El Hierro belong to the homogeneous black phenotype; some populations from other islands show a remarkable variation in color of head and thorax, from pure black to a splendid red.
