Theselittle dirt diggers come in all shapes, sizes, colors and have crawled the Earth since the time of dinosaurs.

Although small in size, they are mighty in resources, live in organized communities with queens, males, workers and greatly depend on each other. In this gripping book by biologist author Cristina Santos kids will explore the wonderful and complex ways in which these industrious little bugs work together to keep their communities alive.
