I made a thread about this called Best Books About Ants.
"The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer." Prov. 30:25
Keep ordinary ants in extraordinary ways.

Yes, many. Some of my personal favorites are "army ants: nature's ultimate social hunters," and "the ants." The latter is my personal favorite and is basically a myrmecology bible, at over 700 pages long and packed with information. However, the book is quite expensive, around 200 dollars. Definitely worth it though.

Funny, I just came here to post about this new book mentioned on Ars Technica.

(Empire of Ants. Not a game, a book.)
