Ants: Tiny Creatures, Big Lives will bring visitors eye to eye with nature’s minuscule and marvelous super-insects. For every person on Earth, there are 2.5 million ants. These tiny dynamos form societies, construct complex homes, stockpile and cultivate food, and go to war with other colonies. Ants: Tiny Creatures, Big Lives zooms in on our ubiquitous insect neighbors, using scaled-up models and macrophotography to provide a close-up view of the miraculous variety of ant body shapes, behaviors and habitats. Visitors will also learn about the many ecosystem services that ants provide, ranging from pollinating crops to aerating and improving soil to serving directly as a food staple in some societies.
