Here is a great opportunity to participate in real science research.
North Carolina State University (NCSU) is collecting ants from all over the United States. They are creating a map of the varieties. This is a chance for you to gather ants in your yard or at your school. Then you will send them back and have them mapped.
See this web site for more information. I am planning to gather some from my yard and I will report back with the results. Let me know if you, your class, your family or anyone that participates.
