Description

There are twelve thousand species of ants, found across the entire planet. They have impressive organization, centred around an elaborate division of rôles better than that found in human society. Only the queens are fertile, while the sterile females are responsible for feeding the colony, defending it and nurturing the larvae. The males, meanwhile, are confined to the rôle of sperm donors... From predator ants to hunter ants, leaf-cutting ants and harvester ants, they have all evolved and adapted to their environments. They can, however, become a real problem for biodiversity when they eliminate local ant species as they travel between continents. This book includes over 80 superb illustrations and photographs which will enthuse and amaze nature-lovers.
