Camponotus vittatus is a species of carpenter ant and one of the most common ants found around households in South America, particularly Brazil. It was originally described by Auguste Forel in 1904.^[1] The species is relatively large, caramel-coloured, omnivorous,^[2] and fast-moving. The species presents four larval stages which will spin a cocoon to pupate.^[3] The hairs of Camponotus larvae are quite abundant, and may present taxonomic importance.^[3]^[4] The larvae of both sexes are similar, with few diagnostic traits, such as the acquired shape towards pupation inside their cocoons.^[5]
