This field guide covers more than 400 species of ants in Western Europe, and presents 150 of them in detail: description, distribution, possible confusion, habitat and biology.
Never has such a collection work been published in any form whatsoever. A complete introduction introduces the life and habits of ants. It provides a field identification key and a morphological identification key for workers.
Nearly 600 photos show these social insects close-up and in their habitat.
