Ants were already in New Zealand when it broke away from the
ancient pan-continent. But their numbers have been augmented over the
millennia by hitchhikers on log rafts, sailing ships and ocean liners.
Don (zoology, University of Otaga, emeritus) is non-partisan in his
study of the ants living in New Zealand today. This book, for
professional or amateur entomologists, covers the origin, distribution,
physical features and habits of the ants. Some live happily in the woods
while others gravitate to human garbage dumps. Don makes sure that one
can tell which is which. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
