Green Tree Ant's New Nest - Library Binding

by Ruth Owen (Author)

For a colony of green weaver ants, building nests is a family affair. Even the baby ants, or larvae, have work to do!

These ants do not live underground. They make their home sweet amazing home in a tree. Working as a team, the colony stitches together leaves. But what do they use as thread? The silk that's produced by the colony's larvae.

• Meet a green weaver ant colony, its queen, and the 500,000 busy workers.
• Learn how the ants move from place to place foraging for food and build new homes wherever they settle.
• And marvel at their leafy nests that look just like a patchwork quilt!

Readers will be astounded by these clever animal builders and will love the beautiful, close-up photos that show these tiny insects at work.
