Camponotus dumetorum is a species of carpenter ant[1][2][3][4] native to North America. They are related to other species from the subgenus Tanaemyrmex in western North America such as C. semitestaceus and C. vicinus.[5] C. dumetorum are primarily nocturnal and form nests underground.[6][7] Like other select ant species native to California, their populations have been displaced with the introduction of Argentine ants.[8][9]
