What is here

    When people looked

    Records by year. Ants are found when people go outside.

    Occurrence data from GBIF, the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, queried live. Records come from museums, university collections and people with phones. Map tiles by OpenFreeMap from OpenStreetMap.

    Built by Don Florencio, who is also building an ant colony simulator and needed to know what actually lives where.
