I just never knew how aggressive Myrmecocystus could be!

Awesome cinematography. Could watch docs lime that all day. Thanks.

That colony got its butt kicked though. Gotta toughen up if you want to survive in the wild!

Oh I remember watching Empire of the Desert Ants recently. The writer(s)/directors/narrator really chose to portray ants as alien, vicious, nasty things.

Yeah and it was brutal. Though I kind of wonder how they set up the warfare shots and what that says about the humans who set them up.  :lol:
