Colonies are calm, nocturnal, and develop gradually, but queens are long-lived and highly resilient.

Behavior and Activity:

Camponotus friedae are primarily nocturnal foragers, becoming most active in the late evening and night. They are slow but deliberate in their movements, often forming distinct pheromone trails once a reliable food source is located. While not as aggressive as other Camponotus, they are highly territorial and will defend their nest if disturbed.
