"This excellent photographic field guide covers every species of ant found in Britain and Europe, covering 400 species and including detailed descriptions for more than 150 of the most commonly encountered. It is lavishly illustrated with nearly 600 superb photographs, showing species close-up to highlight identification features and in their natural habitats.
