Some ants clean the nest or dig new tunnels. Others bring in food or store seeds to eat later. And in each ant city there is a queen ant who is busy laying eggs.
This provides a beginning look at the fascinating world of ants--the variety of "cities" they build, the job each ant carries out, and the remarkable feats they can accomplish. Includes instructions for building an ant
