Ants Build A Bridge To Attack Wasp Hive

in amazing •  7 years ago 

This is some crazy, scary, intense, Chuck Norris Kryptonite, nature show type of sh*t.

A Twitter user by the name of Francisco Boni recorded the attack and posted it with the caption,

" Attack of legionary ants (also known as army ants or marabunta) to a wasp honeycomb. Impressive the level of swarm intelligence and collective computation to form that bridge."

Ants and wasps are related so he's not wrong in the slightest.

Unless you've seen every Attenborough film ever made, you would think that wasps wouldn't need to worry about a few little ants....

And you would be right but this isn't a few little ants.

It's hundreds and thousands of them, maybe even millions of them all working together to make a massive bridge that loops from the roof of a gutter all the way down and back up to the home of few hundred wasps.
