Harvesting ants store grain, mushroom growers farm fungus, honey ants swell into living larders, and legionary ants march as armies. Vance Randolph walks through the ant's body and its startling societies, chapter by chapter, including the slave-makers that raid their neighbors. Clear, vivid entomology for any reader. Kneel by the anthill and meet its citizens.
