"Attack of legionary ants, also known as army ants or marabunta, to a wasp honeycomb. It's impressive the level of swarm intelligence and collective computation they use to form that bridge."

It’s nice to see both humans and ants have a mutual hatred for wasps.

If the army ants can do this, imagine what the special forces ants could do

"Why don't they just crawl on the ceiling?"

"It's about sending a message."

In the next video, they build a little plane with machine guns.

Imagine the months of planning this took in the ant colony war room..

[yybjdk]

Just imagine bolting out the door, late for work, and running face first into that terrible ant-rope

“Why don’t we just go across the ceiling?”

“They’ll be expecting that!”

[JamesMichael]

The reason they didnt go right across the ceiling is because i dont think they can carry the larvae while walking on the ceiling. Ants are terrifying and fascinating at the same time. In a way they’re a lot like The Borg without the assimilating part.

Cool now imagine that its night time out and you walked face first into a giant rope made of army ants

[michaelheliotis]

To everyone wondering why they didn't just walk on the ceiling, it's so that they can steal the wasps' brood and take it back to their nest for food. Walking upside down isn't easy with a heavy load, so building the bridge allows them to easily cart off the babies of their fallen enemies so they can then feed the wasp babies to their own babies.

Now they’ll raise the wasp larve to be their Air Force.

This is something no one would believe if not recorded.

It all started with...”I need 4 volunteers”...

[sadtooncat]

"Our queen, shall we attack the enemy wasps head-on?"
"nah just make a bridge out of yourselves or smt lmao"

[mrjohneeviedean]

These army recruitment ads get more outlandish every year

[joshron]

To homeowner: "There's good news and bad news. Good news is that the wasps nest is gone... ."

[lyly_lei_lei]

I think the reason they didn’t just use the ceiling is because it’s much easier to carry heavier loads up and down than upside down.
