Right away this sounds scary

We’re living on a planet of ants

Susanne Foitzik is a proud myrmecologist.
 
See what I mean? And it goes on.
 
What genetic changes have turned a species of diligent worker ants like Temnothorax longispinosus into ravaging hordes of slave makers like Temnothorax americanus?

And that’s just in the first paragraph of this book review at Ars Technica. Seems a long way from a “cozy mystery” (see below).

But maybe a pretty good book to add to the list.
