Last
night LSD was on the other side of the microphone as
he launched Warwick Don's book, Ants of New
Zealand, at a function held
in the atrium of the Otago Museum. Surprinzingly,
this is the first book ever published on New
Zealand's representatives of this important animal
group. LSD chided Warwick, a rugby fanatic, for
seemingly making his collections at places around New
Zealand that coincided with the locations of rugby
grounds. He went on to describe the book as
representing a lifetime's work and, with a nod to
Grahame Sydney, Christian Barnard and Rudyard
Kipling, LSD praised Warwick Don for his book – which
he said could be regarded as a gift to the nation, a
true "stepping stone".
