est-elle vraiment une seule espèce ?","Probablement pas. Le nom recouvre un immense groupe de fourmis charpentières d'Afrique, d'Arabie et d'Asie : Baroni Urbani y a fusionné des dizaines de formes décrites en 1972, et AntCat répertorie encore cinq sous-espèces. Le nom « subnudus » que beaucoup de boutiques utilisent a été donné en 1889 à une forme de Rangoun, au Myanmar, et pourtant certaines boutiques vendent sous ce nom des colonies africaines. Dans une étude de 2026, des colonies d'un même parc national de Côte d'Ivoire, d'aspect identique, se sont séparées en deux groupes à la chimie cuticulaire différente, et les ouvrières attaquaient les fourmis de l'autre groupe : ne mélangez donc pas des ouvrières de fournisseurs différents.",{"question":253,"answer":254},"Camponotus maculatus est-elle active la nuit ?","Surtout, oui. Plusieurs éleveurs et boutiques la décrivent comme la plus vive le soir et après la tombée de la nuit, et un compte rendu note que les fourmis restent dans le nid le jour et se figent quand l'éleveur bouge à proximité. Sur l'atoll d'Aldabra, de nombreuses ouvrières ont été trouvées la nuit en train de s'occuper de cochenilles pour leur miellat, et des chercheurs en Côte d'Ivoire ont récolté ses reines nuptiales avec une lampe à lumière noire pendant la saison des vols. À mesure que la colonie grandit, ses ouvrières sortent plus tôt dans la journée.",{"question":256,"answer":257},"Quand les majors apparaissent-elles dans une colonie de Camponotus maculatus ?","Après plusieurs mois de croissance. Dans un compte rendu allemand, les deux premières majors sont apparues environ cinq mois après l'arrivée de la reine, et un compte rendu plus ancien a vu les premières ouvrières de taille moyenne environ trois mois et demi après l'éclosion des premières ouvrières. Les plus petites ouvrières assurent les soins et la recherche de nourriture, tandis que les majors défendent surtout le nid.","De grosses fourmis fortement polymorphes, avec une tête sombre, un thorax jaunâtre et un gaster sombre marqué de taches ou de rayures jaune pâle, bien que les couleurs varient beaucoup d'une population à l'autre. Les boutiques la vendent sous le nom « maculatus » ou « subnudus », avec une origine indiquée comme l'Afrique ou l'Asie du Sud-Est, et une étude de 2026 a trouvé deux populations chimiquement différentes mais d'aspect identique parmi des colonies identifiées comme cette espèce : l'identité exacte d'une colonie quelconque est donc incertaine.","fr",{},true,[263,266,268,270],{"kind":264,"text":265},"tip","Ne chauffez qu'une partie du nid et placez le tapis chauffant en partie sous celui-ci, et non contre la vitre.
