Overview:
Introduction to Ant Biology covers the basic history,
biology and behavior of ants.This includes their
developmental process, diet, means of communication
and other general activities.This course also
outlines where certain species of ants can be found
and the damage they can cause.

101 - Introduction to Ant Identification
(47 slides)
Overview:
Ants vary in behavior and, therefore, our control
techniques must also vary. Introduction to Ant
Identification distinguishes the morphological
characteristics which can be used to identify specific
ant species.This course also demonstrates the use
of diagnostic keys to aid in ant identification.
Outline:
Biology and Behavior
Ant vs. Termite
Worker Size
Basic Anatomy
Dichotomous Key
