[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]Four species of arthropod mimic Camponotus planatus within the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve of British Honduras.

Secondly, the salticid spider Sarindia linda mimics C. planatus so well that they are hard to distinguish.

[10] Camponotus planatus in Yucatan, Mexico, exhibits a seasonal shift in feeding habits based on carbon isotopic evidence.

During the dry season, these ants primarily forage on nectar from the CAM (Crassulacean Acid Metabolism) orchid Schomburgkia tibicinis, accumulating high levels of CAM-metabolized carbon in their tissues.

However, in the wet season, they shift to foraging on other nectar sources and insect prey, which are primarily C3 plants.
