Authors: Heather Campbell & Benjamin Blanchard

Plentiful and familiar, ants make up an estimated one-third of the world’s insect biomass and can be found in virtually every part of the globe, from rain forest canopies to city sidewalks.

But their importance is about more than numbers: Ants are fundamental species in a range of habitats and their interactions with plants, fungi, and other animals ensure the survival of many fragile and complex ecosystems.

This beautifully illustrated book explores the extraordinary diversity of ants and offers insights into their elaborate social systems.
