Camponotus Vicinus – Intermediate (requires heat)
 
Vicinus are a large, striking, polymorphic and sugar loving species from western USA. As with other carpenter ants (or sugar ants as known in AUS) they absolutely love sugars and would be farming aphids in the wild. They also have a hunger for vast proteins. With workers we advise 2 to 3 meals a week in an outworld (removed after 24 hours)
