Comparing Ant Characteristics
Use the information you obtain from
the MCZ Database to complete this worksheet. Information on location and type
can be found in the text description for each ant. You should reference the
photos to write your own observations and descriptions for size, color, head
shape, striations on head, and shape and length of body. If you notice anything
unusual about the ant, you can include the information in the "Other
notable characteristics" row.
