de cabeza grande en una colonia de Camponotus japonicus?","Solo cuando la colonia ha crecido mucho.

Muchos autores antiguos trataron a japonicus como una subespecie de la septentrional Camponotus herculeanus, y Yasumatsu y Brown señalaron la existencia de formas intermedias en 1951. En 1957 comprobaron que la mayoría de las muestras se pueden clasificar con claridad: japonicus es sobre todo negra, con un cuerpo mate de escultura tosca y pelos largos y densos en el gáster, mientras que la herculeanus de Asia oriental tiene un gáster más brillante con pelos cortos y a menudo algo de rojo en el tórax y las patas.

Las obreras viven solo de uno a dos años y se reemplazan constantemente, y en la naturaleza una colonia tarda de cuatro a cinco años en alcanzar su tamaño completo.
