    The Warrior Kingdoms of the Weaver Ant

    Deep in tropical jungles lie floating kingdoms ruled by beautiful and deadly masters: They are sort of the high elves of the ant kingdoms: Talented architects that create castles and city states.

Every living thing has to solve this problem and the solution is surprisingly different depending on one of the most important regulators of life: Size.
