Hands On Ant Biology and Identification

This course provides an introduction to identifying ants to species using microscopes and identification keys. The day includes a presentation introducing the morphological features used to identify specimens to species level, and during the lab session, you will explore a wide variety of different ant species, including workers, queens and males.  Through a combination of taught classroom content and lab-based practical sessions, learners will gain confidence in using the identification keys and preserved specimens to identify ants to species level. 

*New challenge - Stump the Chump! Bring your most challenging ants and see if the instructor and class can ID them.*

This session will be taught by Dr. Karen Vail (Professor and Extension Urban Entomologist, University of Tennessee).
