Camponotus quadrinotatus (四斑弓背蚁)

1. Colony Structure (殖民结构):

   • Monogynous: Typically has a single queen per colony.
     单后制: 通常每个殖民地有一只蚁后。
   • Queen Body Length: Approximately 6 mm.
     蚁后体长: 约6毫米。
   • Worker Body Length: Approximately 4-6.5 mm.
     工蚁体长: 约4-6.5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: 需要中到高湿度水平，约50-70%。

3. Nesting Recommendations (巢室推荐):

   • Nest Type: Prefers wooden nests, excavating galleries in dead wood or wooden structures.
     巢型: 偏好木质巢穴，在枯木或木结构中挖掘通道。
   • Environment: Should be kept in a substrate that mimics their natural habitat, such as moist wood or a mix of wood and soil.
     环境: 应保存在模拟其自然栖息地的基质中，如潮湿的木材或木土混合物。

4. Food Sources (食物来源):

   • Diet: Omnivorous; feeds on a variety of sugars, proteins, and other organic materials.
     饮食: 杂食性；以各种糖类、蛋白质和其他有机物为食。
   • Supplementary Feeding: Can be supplemented with sources like honey, fruits, small insects, or protein-rich foods.
     补充喂食: 可以用蜂蜜、水果、小型昆虫或富含蛋白质的食物进行补充。

5. Other Maintenance Tips (其他饲养建议):

   • Temperature Control: Ensure the ambient temperature is maintained consistently within the preferred range.
     温度控制: 确保环境温度稳定保持在适宜范围内。
   • Humidity Maintenance: Regularly monitor and adjust humidity levels to maintain optimal conditions.
     湿度维持: 定期监测和调节湿度水平以保持最佳条件。
   • Ventilation: Provide adequate ventilation to prevent mold growth while maintaining necessary humidity.
     通风: 提供充足的通风以防止霉菌生长，同时保持必要的湿度。
   • Safety: Handle with care as carpenter ants can cause structural damage and may deliver bites.
     安全: 小心处理，因为弓背蚁可能对结构造成损害，并可能进行咬击。
