Is there any good general book on Myrmecology for the ant keeper hobbiest? Something that is not too academic and yet with a lot of good information and not just a primer of for starting up. Preferably something that I can get in hardcopy and not just eBook format.

 

I know that AntsCanada has an eBook available but I can't even find a list of chapters so I have no idea of it's contents.

 

Thanks,

 

Dario

All good suggestions from what I can see searching these titles. Going to have to settle on one, but still not sure which.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions.
