# Title American Carpenter Ant (alate) Description An alate (winged) American Carpenter Ant (Camponotus americanus) prepares to disperse after emerging from the parent nest. Two worker ants appear to be coaxing the alate to move more quickly. Alates include both male and female ants who disperse at the same time to engage in a "nuptial flight" to search for a mate.
