This introductory guide to ant anatomy uses delicate illustrations and clear annotations to vividly and easily explain the structure of the insect’s head, thorax, abdomen, and antennae. It’s suitable for nature enthusiasts with no prior knowledge and also provides a precise reference for drawing and sketching, making it a practical little tutorial that combines science and art.

Ants have been part of many of my life stories.
They are wonderful servants. Often they are unnoticed.
They clear up my dropped sweet bits.
They get on with their own world.

I want to observe their social life.

This was so helpful! I’m doing research for a bug animation I’m making, and I’m including Lasius neoniger, among other insects. This was really clear, concise, and precisely what I was looking for.

It’s gonna be a long while yet, but if you ever see a little animated short about the Karner Blue Butterfly, know that you had a helping hand in it 🙂
