The Camponotus pseudolendus is a true standout in the world of Asian Carpenter ants. If you are looking for a species that looks like it’s been dusted with fine gold or bronze, this is the one. They are known for their beautiful, velvety appearance thanks to the dense, shimmering hairs that cover their bodies. They are much more “laid back” than some of the more aggressive tropical species, moving with a graceful and steady pace that makes them a joy to observe. They are a bit of a “luxury” species for keepers who want something that is both visually stunning and calm.
