The Leafcutter Ants is the most detailed and authoritative
description of any ant species ever produced. With a text suitable
for both a lay and a scientific audience, the book provides an
unforgettable tour of Earth's most evolved animal societies. Each
colony of leafcutters contains as many as five million workers, all
the daughters of a single queen that can live over a decade. A
gigantic nest can stretch thirty feet across, rise five feet or
more above the ground, and consist of hundreds of chambers that
reach twenty-five feet below the ground surface. Indeed, the
leafcutters have parlayed their instinctive civilization into a
virtual domination of forest, grassland, and cropland from
Louisiana to Patagonia. Inspired by a section of the authors'
acclaimed The Superorganism, this brilliantly illustrated work
provides the ultimate explanation of what a social order with a
half-billion years of animal evolution has achieved."
