Spiracle

Who better to turn to when it comes to ants than the late, great ant scientist E.O.Wilson? His last ever book was a triumph, providing a deceptively simple solution to the biodiversity crisis:

Half-Earth: Our Planet's Fight for Life

Of course, Green Woodpeckers love ants too (although they prefer eating them to studying them!)
