Camponotus vittatus is a species of carpenter ant and one of the most common ants found around households in South America, particularly Brazil.

[1] The species is relatively large, caramel-coloured, omnivorous,[2] and fast-moving.

The species presents four larval stages which will spin a cocoon to pupate.

[3] The hairs of Camponotus larvae are quite abundant, and may present taxonomic importance.

[3][4] The larvae of both sexes are similar, with few diagnostic traits, such as the acquired shape towards pupation inside their cocoons.
