Instantly recognisable by their spindly legs, probing feelers, huge eyes, dislocated looking thorax and hairy bodies, ants are everywhere, a hugely successful species. Packed with outstanding macrophotography, each ant species is shown in their natural habitat and close-up to highlight identification features. It is a groundbreaking book representing the first accessible field guide to the ants of Britain and Europe, covering 400 species and including detailed descriptions of more than 150 of the most commonly encountered. We are given an introduction to ant ecology, guidance on where to look for ants and how to study them in the field, an overview of families and identification key, plus accurate distribution map, confusion species, habitat and biology. 600 colour photos, 416pp in sturdy softback.
