Carpenter Ant Galleries (Formicidae: Camponotus sp.)
The center of this rotting tree had a large, excavated cavity in addition to tunnels and chambers that were complex and mostly free of frass. Carpenter ants don't actually eat the wood, they just excavate it for their nests.
Habitat: Rotting log in a deciduous forest/converted farmland
