Did you know that for every human on earth, there are about one million ants? They are among the longestlived insectswith some ant queens passing the thirtyyear markas well as some of the strongest. Fans of both the city and countryside alike, ants decompose dead wood, turn over soil (in some places more than earthworms), and even help plant forests by distributing seeds. But while fewer than thirty of the nearly one thousand ant species living in North America are true pests, we cringe when we see them marching across our kitchen floors.No longer! In this witty, accessible, and beautifully illustrated guide, Eleanor Spicer Rice, Alex Wild, and Rob Dunn metamorphose creepycrawly revulsion into myrmecological wonder. Emerging from Dunns ambitious citizen science project Your Wild Life (an initiative based at North Carolina State University), Dr. Eleanors Book of Common Ants of New York City provides an eyeopening entomological overview of the natural history of New Yorks species most noted by project participantsand even offers insight into the ant denizens of the citys subways and Central Park. Exploring species from the honeyrump ant to the Japanese crazy ant, and featuring Wilds stunning photography as well as tips on keeping ant farms in your home, this guide will be a tremendous resource for teachers, students, and scientists alike. But more than this, it will transform the way New Yorkers perceive the environment around them by deepening their understanding of its littlest inhabitants, inspiring everyone to find their inner naturalist, get outside, and crawl across the dirtmagnifying glass in hand.
