Carpenter ants – Carpenter ants are dark brown to black in color and range in size from ¼ inch to ¾ inch for a queen. They excavate soft, rotten wood to construct nests. They feed on aphid honeydew, other insects, and household food scraps. Learn more about ants at: https://www.bookstore.ksre.ksu.edu/pubs/MF2887.pdf
