Ants are the most ubiquitous creatures on Earth: they live on all continents except Antarctica, and live in almost any climate. They surpass people by a millions of times, and their total weight is about the same as the weight of all people. In his superbly illustrated book that has absorbed all the most interesting of entomological trips throughout the globe, including Nigeria, Indonesia, Australia, California, the coast of the Amazon and other exotic corners, the outstanding American ecologist and biologist Mark Moffett presents four ways of observing the ants: You can observe one individual as an individual, perceive the family of ants as a society, as a super -horganism and as something similar to the collective mind and consciousness. From the stages of the development of the ant and its anatomy to the most difficult social skills and interactions-you will get to know the amazing world of ants on the example of the life of six types: maraudian marauds from tropical Asia, anti-male ants from Africa, portal ants, Africa and Australia , Muravyov amazons, anti-list ants and, finally, Argentinean ants who win the whole world before our eyes.
“Ants and people have similar features of a public organization, because both their and our communities are designed to solve similar problems. It also makes sense to likened an ant family to the whole body. How are the family families-sometimes called by “super-horganisms” because of this similarity-regulate their complex organization in order to function as a whole? Who in the family to get food, remove waste, raise a new generation? And what can ants teach us in relation to these tasks? To find out, we will begin our adventures among the ants. ” (Mark Moffett)
