“In many environments take away the ants and there would be partial collapses in many land ecosystems.” ~ E.O. Wilson
A sign of spring and a new season shows when insects start to appear in abundance…there are about 12,509 classified species of ants that comprise two-thirds of the insect biomass on earth! Ants have been around far longer than mankind — present 130 mya in the days of dinosaurs, and ants preserved in amber for 92 million years have been found.
