Carpenter ants are generally large ants: workers are 4–7 mm long in small species and 7–13 mm in large species, queens are 9–20 mm long and males are 5–13 mm long. The bases of the antennae are separated from the clypeal border by a distance of at least the antennal scape's maximum diameter.
Workers can range from 3.5 to 7.5 mm (0.14 to 0.30 in) in length. [1] The queen ant's size can range from 4 to 10 millimetres (0.16 to 0.39 in).
