Exhibition "ANTS"
The ant – a small, busy insect, and a symbol of the virtue of work that we learn to recognise in early childhood. Since ancient times, people have described them in folk songs and proverbs, but the exhibition will give an insight into the lifestyle of ants and their role in natural processes.
The exhibition is an interactive story about ants in Latvia and around the world, and their diversity and interactions with different living organisms. It presents the results of the latest research on the relationship of ants to other Hymenoptera and invites you to take a closer look at the peculiarities of the ant’s morphology. Everyone can learn about the structure of ant colonies, their homes and what happens inside. The exhibition also reveals the multifaceted nature of the human-ant relationship.
