El llibre és una bona introducció a les formigues i la cura en captivitat. Explica algunes de les espècies més comunes de tenir a casa. M’hauria agradat una descripció de més espècies. Molt recomanable per a novells.

Some useful information in here but you see the same information get repeated several times throughout the book. Could have used some better editing.
