Welcome to the visitors of our Dutch site concerning ants! We noticed that 10% of our visitors who are consulting this site are living in foreign countries all over the world. We are aware of the fact that people in other parts of the world are wondering of where to locate Flanders (Vlaanderen). You can find our working area in Europe where Flanders is the northern part of Belgium and is situated between the Netherlands and France. The main cities are Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels (the capital of Belgium), Ghent, Hasselt and Leuven. The Dutch speaking people is good for 60% of the Belgian population (6,6 million) and lives on a surface of 13.522 km².

Most of this information is a translation or Dutch abstract of English papers available on the www. Are you looking for a list of our Belgian ants?
