Discover the natural world of ants with a detailed, image‑driven introduction to Formicidae in the Indian subcontinent and surrounding regions. This volume lays out how these social insects are built, how their bodies differ among castes, and what makes their wings and pedicels unique.
The introduction explains the key features that distinguish ants from other hymenopterans, including a flexible pedicel that links the abdomen to the thorax. It covers the three primary forms in most nests—the fertile female, the male, and the worker—and notes how some workers vary in size and shape. It also describes how the thorax, abdomen, and head can vary across subfamilies, and it points to illustrative figures that show the range of forms found in different genera. The text emphasizes anatomy and variation as important tools for classification, with practical notes on how to read the accompanying drawings.
- How ants are structured and how their bodies differ by caste and genus
- The features that help identify subfamilies through the head, thorax, abdomen, and pedicel
- How wings and legs are arranged and how wing neuration varies
- How to use illustrations to understand ant forms and taxonomy
Ideal for readers of natural history, students, and researchers interested in Indian ants and the broader family’s diversity.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
