Camponotus laevigatus or the giant carpenter ant is a species of carpenter ant native to eastern Canada, the United States, and Mexico.[2][3] Workers measure between 7 and 13 millimeters in length. General coloration is shiny black with a blue tint;[4] this is where its specific name (laevigatus) comes from, meaning smooth or slippery.[2] The body is covered in short white hairs.[4] The species, which is primarily diurnal,[4] tends to make its nests by hollowing out redwoods.[5] It feeds on the pupae of the western spruce budworm.[6]
