Research Notes |
| “Believe it or not, there are more than 10,000,000,000,000,000 and alive right now. That’s a lot of ants. These amazing creep crawlers live in almost anywhere you can think of, so I had no shortage of inspiration as I was researching and writing this book.
“After learning so much about ants, you might wonder if I have a favorite. I do. It’s the Dracula ant, which gets all its nutrients from a single source—the blood from ant larvae. How cool is that?” |
