Camponotus ligniperda, the brown-black carpenter ant, is a common species of carpenter ant distributed widely throughout Europe.[1][2] Found in a variety of woodland habitats, they commonly nest on the ground in dry tree stumps, dead fallen trees, or beneath stones and wooden logs that are partially buried.[3] C. ligniperda is an ecologically dominant species wherever it is found due to both its large size and particularly aggressive nature.[4]
