Camponotus laevigatus is a species of carpenter ant native to California. [1] [2] It nests in the dead branches of oaks such as Quercus wislizeni (interior live oak). [1]
The more widespread ant formerly called C. laevigatus is now called Camponotus laevissimus. [1] According to AntWiki, "most literature (probably except for the original description) as well as specimens in museums labelled as C. laevigatus actually refer to C. laevissimus." [1]
