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.
