Ant structures
 
Check out what the hive mind can do. Amazing.

Let's take the LoT commune underground.

That's amazing....but how many poor ants had to die to do this. Tragic callousness in the scientific community.

Wow! That's impressive. :eek:

In the comments they said that this was an abandoned ant hill, the ants had already moved their colony elsewhere.

Can't see the video from work. Is this one of those things where the scientist poured liquid polymer into the ant hill so all the tunnels and areas filled up and then it hardened allowing the ant hill to be removed and revealing the "circulatory system?" (Essentially the same thing as done to the human bodies in those traveling Bodies shows).

Yes.

I was being silly.

Though in the video they described it as cement. It looked pretty "liquidy", more like gray water, as it was being poured. Not that I am cement expert.

Cement would be way too thnk to flood the tonnels, I believe.
