He earned an interdisciplinary Doctor of Science degree in Social Environmental Systems from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and worked in the software industry until he retired to a farm on the Eastern Shore of Virginia where he created a wildlife refuge. His interest in animal behavior was sparked by watching ant wars on a sidewalk with the late Professor E. O. Wilson 47 years ago. In his writing, he collaborates with an ant to reflect on human behavior with the hope that these reports will instill some respect, humility and possibly humor into the reader. Tony lives in Williamsburg, Virginia with his wife, Shirley.
Cindi Camponotus is the latest in a rare genome of literate carpenter ants of the genus Camponotus. She uses a computer at night to report on news of the natural world. She seldom misses a chance to critique the antics of Homo sapiens. Cindi’s missives have been published in online literary journals.view less
