Why is Camponotus Pennsylvanicus so common?!

[Canadiananter]

I think it may be because Camponotus pennsylvanicus are bigger, stronger, seem to have bigger colonies when they reach maturity even though novaeboracensis grows faster. They also tend to raid more as they frequently destroy nearby lasius colonies. I have seen 5 camponotus pennsylvanicus majors destroy a ~200 worker lasius nest.

There were only 200 workers..

I'm sorry if I come of as rude.

Don't worry, I don't mind. It's your choice if you want to believe me or not. I'm just saying that that is what I saw

Camponotus majors are very, very good at fighting other ants.

[Canadiananter]

So are you agreeing that this is possible and I DID see it or are you saying that they are good but not that good?

Five tanks vs 200 infantry only armed with assault rifles? Seems like a fitting comparison.

Considering that 30 Giant hornets are capable of massacring a bee hive of 30000 workers in less than 3 hours, I wouldn't say it's impossible.

I would compare it like that excepy that the tanks are a lot faster than the infantry and that it is more like infantry with pistols

Really? A lot of the smaller ant species are faster than majors.
