What is it about?
In this guide, we've created easy-to-follow instructions for identifying different types of ants in Brazil. There are 12 subfamilies and 117 genera of ants in Brazil, and our guide helps you figure out which is which. We've included clear pictures to show you what each ant looks like, along with explanations of tricky terms. We also give you information about each ant group, like where they live, where they make their nest, how often we find them, and how they reproduce. We even tell you how many of these ants we know about in Brazil compared to other places in the world. Plus, we talk about where these ants live in Brazil and mention the latest research about them. Our main goal is to make it easy for researchers, students, and people who love bugs to identify ants in Brazil. We want to help everyone learn more about these amazing creatures and how to protect them in the country with the most diverse wildlife on Earth.
