Camponotus consobrinus is a monogynous ant species with colonies reaching up to 20,000 workers. They exhibit a moderate to fast development speed. Queens typically measure around 16–18 mm in length, while workers range from 6 to 12 mm, showing noticeable polymorphism. This species is known for its striking appearance: the head and thorax are orange to reddish-brown, while the gaster is glossy black, creating a sharp bicolored contrast. They primarily feed on insect prey, sugary substances like honey-water or syrup, jelly, fruit, and protein-rich foods such as cooked chicken or egg.
