🚨 ARTHROPOD OF THE DAY 🚨

The banded sugar ant (Camponotus consobrinus), also known as the sugar ant, is a species of ant native to Australia. Its common name refers to the ant's liking for sugar and sweet food, as well as the distinctive orange-brown band that wraps around its gaster.

The banded sugar ant is considered a household pest and is occasionally seen in houses at night. It is capable of damaging furniture and fittings by chewing the wood. Carbon disulphide can be used to treat and remove a banded sugar ant nest.
