And then you keep thinking about how fast cereal is disappearing in your house, wondering whether you're just so sleepy in the morning you don't remember eating more and more of it - until one night you spot a string of AInts stealing your cereal, piece by piece. By the time you've realized your mistake, the colony has grown 100x in size and already spread to the two neighboring houses, being held back by the front line of an ongoing war with an AInt colony of your friend one street down.

:) that wld entertain me, having witnessed a couple ant-termite wars in the garden.

Ant swarm intelligence is not perfect.

Sometimes they fall into infinite loops killing the entire colony: Ant death spirals.

Cool clip thx. Very interesting and hadn't heard of it. Could be a feature tho to get rid of the dumbest ants.

You might need to extract ant pheromones and draw a circle with it, so that ants keep reinforcing that circular path attracting more ants, forming a death pit.
