Camponotus japonicus (日本弓背蚁)

Camponotus japonicus (日本弓背蚁)

1. Colony Structure (殖民结构):

   • Polygynous: Typically has multiple queens per colony.
     • 多后制: 通常每个殖民地有多只蚁后。
   • Queen Body Length: Approximately 6-7 mm.
     • 蚁后体长: 约6-7毫米。
   • Worker Body Length: Approximately 4-5 mm.
     • 工蚁体长: 约4-5毫米。

2. Suitable Temperature and Humidity (适宜的温度、湿度):

   • Temperature: Prefers a temperature range of 20-28°C.
     • 温度: 适宜温度范围为20-28摄氏度。
   • Humidity: Requires moderate to high humidity levels, around 50-70%.
     • 湿度: 需要中高湿度水平，约50-70%。

3. Nesting Recommendations (巢室推荐):

   • Nest Type: Prefers wood-based nests, often nesting in dead or decaying wood.
     • 巢型: 偏好基于木材的巢穴，常在死木或腐朽木材中筑巢。
   • Environment: Should be provided with wooden blocks or natural wood materials to mimic their natural habitat.
     • 环境: 应提供木块或天然木材材料，以模拟其自然栖息地。

4. Food Sources (食物来源):

   • Diet: Omnivorous; feeds on a variety of foods including sugars, proteins, and fats.
     • 饮食: 杂食性；以各种食物为食，包括糖类、蛋白质和脂肪。
   • Supplementary Feeding: Can be supplemented with honey, fruit pieces, or small insects.
     • 补充喂食: 可以用蜂蜜、果实碎片或小型昆虫进行补充。

5. Other Maintenance Tips (其他饲养建议):

   • Temperature Control: Maintain a stable temperature within the preferred range using heaters or cooling systems as necessary.
     • 温度控制: 使用加热器或制冷系统根据需要稳定保持在适宜范围内。
   • Humidity Maintenance: Regularly monitor and adjust humidity levels to prevent dehydration or mold growth.
     • 湿度维持: 定期监测和调整湿度水平，以防止脱水或霉菌生长。
   • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation to provide fresh air while maintaining humidity.
     • 通风: 确保充足的通风，以提供新鲜空气同时保持湿度。
   • Safety: Handle with care, as carpenter ants can cause structural damage by nesting in wood.
     • 安全: 小心处理，因为弓背蚁通过在木材中筑巢可能对结构造成损害。
