In nearly every corner of the Earth, ants wage war against each other. Their weapons are what nature gave them. Some have strong armour, deadly stingers or sharp mandibles. And then there is this tiny, and not very impressive ant. But it rules the biggest empire any ant has ever built. A colony spanning continents and fighting wars that leave millions of casualties. Let’s take a look at this unlikely warrioress: Linepithema humile, the Argentine ant.

But she’s vegan please so don’t put no cheese with some honey mustard on the siiiiiide
So basically Argentile Ants Are Warhammer scale of the ant world 🐜
So what I'm learning here is it doesn't matter how strong you are, it matters how well you can cooperate.
Fantastic video!! Thank you!
someone should make a game about this
We always thought human extinction level would happen by asteroid, our moon , virus etc but i think humanity is going to be extinct by ants taking over the world😅😅
Fun fact: around 150 argentine ants, dried, grinded and smoked can give u sweet 15 minutes of high.
паражэние…
Why does it remind me of colonial-era British…
since we're humans cant we step on them
Demographics is destiny, even for ants!
We are all just big angry ants.
Now I wanna be an ant
Do you know why there are no Argentine ants in India?
First Himalayas
Second weavers
Third black crazys
Fourth yellow crazys
Fifth slenders
Sixth bullets
Seventh trap jaws
Eighth phidole supercolonies
And all of these are ants
Argentine Ant Propaganda Be Like:
Alone We Stood Against The Californian Ants, Alone We Ventured Into The Unknown, Alone We Prepare To Colonize The Globe. We Stand On The Edge Of Victory, But An Old Enemy Has Returned To Its Backstabbing Ways.
The Red Fire Ants Have Come Once More To Demolish Our Glorious Empire In America.
The Exported Fire Is Plunging Its Venom Into Our Exposed Eastern Lands.
The Argentine Ant Hegemony Stands Alone Against The Barbarian Firestorm.
We Can Rely On No One!
We Shall Extinguish Their Fire As We Have Extinguished Those Pests In California.
We Will Defend Our New Home, To The Very Last Ant!
The Argentine Ants Will Never Surrender, We Will Push Them Back To The Paraná!We Fight On No Matter What Happens, If We Must Win This Next War Alone We Shall Do That Too.
Argentine Ant 1: Annihilate Any Resistance For The Queen They Stand No Chance Against The Horde!
…
Argentine Ant 2: Sir, The Enemy Has Been Overrun And Exterminated.
What Now?
Argentine Ant 1: DESTROY THE CHILD, EAT THEM ALL
One time on the 4th of July i sat on a fire ant hill and my legs had spots on them for weeks
I guess they're compensating for something huh?
ants seperate for more territory, become different, racism ensues.
ok so they're basically chimera ants
Would be cool if someone create a garden for ant warfare irl like people will pay to see it like a sports, camera everywhere hidden in try maybe use remote control drone fly around to watch them. Then you kill all of them after raise new queen then let them fight until one die then wipe them out do it again. You can even match two different type of ant who never meet in nature then let two army fight maybe sometime make 3 to 4 army fight at the same time.
Is argentine ant invasive team or native team? Fire ants are invasive
Anyways
My mind: * wow how could fire ants possible defeat argentine ants
AntHammer 40000C ("c" stands for colony)
Would climate, the ecology totally change and the earth end if there were no ants?
This feels weirdly parallel to the story of humanity.
I feel like I'm watching a WWIII Documentary live action
Why am I getting so interested in the wartime politics of ants???
Me guiding an ant colony to a rival one with treats –
"Chaos is a ladder!"
Maybe someday they'll invade Russia in winter and succeed.
I clicked because I wanted to quickly check what the video is about, but got two 20 seconds ads, so no watching for me.
The only thing ive seen ants kill are cockroaches in my garden, its cool when i look at a cockroach with like 50 ants eating it alive while it tries to run but ive never seen ants vs ants , but it looks super cool
I don't think any of these comments are funny. I've only looked at a dozen or so. it is bad enough that so many insect species are now no longer in existence, and the chain of life is being destroyed because of factors that I will not get into here. But I find it really ironic that people here like the chuckle about this, and not realize that our environment is already in serious trouble. guess it's more than possible for these species to get a ride to get here just like rats have done all kinds of creatures. And yet I really wonder if some of this was done intentionally.
these ants are so cute
mi pais tiene hormigas colonizadoras XD
I love the animation of it it helps you understand
i can just imagine the argentine ants larvae being told about horror stories about fire ants
Given how tiny ants are, a battlefield of several kilometers has got to be like Humans fighting across the face of the planet – for a single battle.
We don’t have to really fight them until they evolve a hive mind, then we should worry.
So the Argentine ant is essentially the insect equivalent of Homo Sapiens: Social, cooperative, expansionist, adaptable and unbelievably destructive, being the harbingers of death for a multitude of species and ecosystems and ending up in wars amongst themselves.
Fuck damn.
I came here to say that the ant war is the second biggest after Ukraine and russia happening now good luck guys.
Ah, yes. The soviet union of ants.
Ants are the best creatures on earth. Pls make more
The coolest things I know about this ant animation is that they can actually chirp and talk and I didn't know that they could make noises like that
The sun never sets on the Argentine Ant Empire.
me : looking for ants canada comment
Can't wait for oversimplifed to talk about this war
