Working ants
Carpenter ants live in wood, where they gnaw out passageways. You may have seen wood with residue that looks like sawdust underneath? There might have been carpenter ants at work!
Carpenter ants can defend themselves well against intruders with their powerful jaws. However, they are no match for the black woodpecker!
These ants eat other insects.
