Camponotus festinus (迅捷弓背蚁)

Camponotus festinus (迅捷弓背蚁)

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 5.2 mm.
     蚁后体长: 约5.2毫米。
   • Worker Body Length: Ranges from 3.5 to 4.5 mm.
     工蚁体长: 范围为3.5至4.5毫米。

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

   • Temperature: Prefers a temperature range of 22-28°C.
     温度: 适宜温度范围为22-28摄氏度。
   • Humidity: Requires moderate to high humidity levels, around 50-65%.
     湿度: 需要中到高湿度水平，约50-65%。

3. Nesting Recommendations (巢室推荐):

   • Nest Type: Prefers both arboreal nests in trees and ground-based nests in soil or decaying wood.
     巢型: 偏好在树木中的树栖巢穴以及土壤或腐木中的地面巢穴。
   • Environment: Should be kept in a substrate that mimics their natural habitat, such as a mixture of soil, sand, and organic matter.
     环境: 应保存在模拟其自然栖息地的基质中，如土壤、沙子和有机物的混合物。

4. Food Sources (食物来源):

   • Diet: Omnivorous; feeds on a variety of foods including sweets, proteins, and honeydew from aphids.
     饮食: 杂食性；以各种食物为食，包括甜食、蛋白质和蚜虫分泌的蜜露。
   • Supplementary Feeding: Can be supplemented with fruits, nuts, seeds, and small insects.
     补充喂食: 可以用水果、坚果、种子和小型昆虫进行补充。

5. Other Maintenance Tips (其他饲养建议):

   • Temperature Control: Maintain a consistent ambient temperature within the preferred range to ensure colony health.
     温度控制: 维持环境温度稳定保持在适宜范围内，以确保殖民地健康。
   • Humidity Maintenance: Regularly monitor and adjust humidity levels to prevent dehydration or mold growth.
     湿度维持: 定期监测并调整湿度水平，以防止脱水或霉菌生长。
   • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in the habitat to promote air circulation while maintaining humidity.
     通风: 确保栖息地有足够的通风，以促进空气流通，同时保持湿度。
   • Safety: Handle with care as carpenter ants can cause structural damage by excavating wood for nesting.
     安全: 小心处理，因为弓背蚁通过挖掘木材筑巢，可能造成结构性破坏。
