Hello,

 

If i remember, the UK has around 60 ish species of ant, and I was wondering if there is a map to find some of the more unusual species?

 

If I remember correctly, we have one slave-making (not sure if this is the correct term?) species, and it would be really nice to see if I could find this species in the wild to observe.

 

Any ideas?

 

Many thanks :)

I would also recommend to download the iNaturalist app. It is a very useful tool, and may help you find good locations for finding ants.
