HONG KONG: The world’s first ever ant map showing the distribution of the tiny industrious creatures around the globe has been launched by the University of Hong Kong in a bid to shed more light on the insect world.
The colourful interactive online map (antmaps.org), which took four years to complete, displays the geographic locations of nearly 15,000 types of ants, with the Australian state of Queensland home to the highest number of native species at more than 1,400.
