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.
without the assimilating part.... yet

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

Because it’s too hard for them to carry heavy stuff upside down
Its because they want to eat the wasp's larvae. So they need to be able to carry the larvae home. That wouldn't be possible if they were on the ceiling.

Rajhai Haynes Sorry if I sound mean but it’s Hymenoptera.
Wasps: We're invading
Ants: No. We're invading.
In Guatemala we found this leaf cutter ant mound that was size of (with a personal estimate) an average garage. Mostly under ground, I discovered it when I found the huge stream of ants, and fallowed it to a bigger one, we spent the day, plus others tracking this huge highway system, fallowing the path of the ones holding leaves and stuff. The door way to this mage city was the size of a kiwi or small orange, and the main “highway” was roughly 4 inches wide. The main highway had smaller ones branching of to various trees, and you could see so much work put into them. The jungle floor is all dried leaves and stuff, then you see a dirt trail extending city blocks, where they’ve cleared the path and the sides of the “roads” are all chopped up leaves. It was an incredible find.
That would be really cool to make a metal cast of. There is this guy called Anthill art on youtube who makes them with smaller nests
This is why humans ruin everything.... he just descrobe the most magical anthill and your comment is. Lets make a metal cast out of it n destroy the ants home loll
@@lazyt6808 yeah the last thing I’d want to see is that colony destroyed. We have enough information to not need to make a cast out of their home for sake of “art”.

Jokes aside, this is seriously terrifying.
That's what happens when ants bet on a bad Quidditch team.

Speak for yourself. That looks cool asf.
Normal ants form colonies and stay in one place. "Army ants" are a whole family of ants that are extremely regimented and nomadic - like Genghis Khan, they go on campaign and like 100,000 ants suddenly show up somewhere all in a mood to kill. They are much more serious business than even fire ants.

Hey lets not forget about the wasp nest. Imagine you come rushing outside you hit your head on the wall snepsts the Wasps attack you and you get tangled up in the ant rope now that's a bad day
Fuck i got cold chills off this but its still funny
True definition of “team work makes the dream work”
The real question is: how did they connect one end with the other?
Ants started the bridge on both ends and connected it at the bottom
ant magic
More likely they created the bridge at the top and gradually dropped it.
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.
I'm just left here wondering how they built the bridge in the first place. Like did they start from the ceiling or from the other end first?or did they coordinate and start simultaneously from both sides?
@@KoOkYmOnStEr1988 I'm guessing that they started with a small loop from the ceiling, and then grew it.

This is something no one would believe if not recorded.
So True
Still hard to believe, may be its true, but someone must explain me how they did that step by step withought a string or any help, i mean if they start the bridge on one side (witch go down because of gravity), they never can go back up in another direction.
Or they built the bridge on both side and they wait for wind to swing both bridge until they can bond it. It could be, but very very iunlikly considering the distance.
may be i don't see the way, but until someone explain me how they did that, i find it very unbelievable.
agreed
lemb Army ants know how big a bridge should be almost instantly still kinda hard to believe it was built like that but they most likely are just holding on to each other with their legs continually
@@Lemb_ They probably start right across the ceiling and just kept adding to the middle, and drooping down...

Imagine seeing a rope of humans reaching for the highest skyscraper! Ants sure are amazing!
When you can literally cut way and go straight through the ceiling but wants to show the world how bad ass you can be!
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.
Both theories are interesting
I believe King is right
There is a rope or a string and they used it
@@oeje212 Ah. That could be the case. Bu I think it would be rather frivolous if they tried making a bridge over a solid support structure, also inconvenient.

I don't know what's more amazing. How the ants made a bridge out of themselves, or the amount of ants that you have at your house.
usually if you got ants its a lot. if you only see a few ants it just means the rest are hidden
I would use this opportunity to take most of them out 😂
@@alexandregrand-pierre1981 I match gose a long ways
A person normally will witness anywhere from 1/1000 to as much as 1/8 the population of an ant colony. The only time you'll ever see most of the population is when the entire colony is in danger. The eggs are moved FIRST and then the queen gets surrounded by ants as a "force field" and is carried to the new location. And the location is fortified first, then the eggs, then the queen gets moved. Unless you have a glass ant colony at home you will never see the full population of an ant colony.
I pretty much live on an ant hill. You haven't seen a lot of ants until you step in what you thought was mud, and then the mud moves.
As somebody who is terrified of wasps I see this as an absolute win.

And you thought the wasps were scary..... You can literally see the wasp larvae being carried away along the unnecessarily long rope of death.

Austin Roccaro that shits long enough to swing a small child on and made entirely out of tiny death soldiers. I freak out seeing a small swarm on the ground but this satanic noose is on a whole other level.
i bet they needed the rope to carry the larvae . Probably cant hold onto it upside down. But going up and down is easier.

Just a random fact if you dont know:
Some ants during floods form living rafts by clumping together. Because their bodies are mostly waterproof espescially with other ants.
So one day me and my friends went into the riverside one day after a serious flood and saw a red mass floating beside the banks. One of my friends decided to poke it with a stick to tow it ashore. The last thing we expected was an entire colony of fire ants floating downstream.
Air force ants too lol

Ants are to nest like covid for the rest!
Seeing how steadily those ants were carrying off the wasps larva is what really hit me hard. I'm shocked that there weren't any wasps flying around trying to figure out where to attack to protect their babies, so it looks like the battle is over and the army ants are carrying out spoils of war.
Multiple species of ants are able to successfully beat wasp colonies through sheer numbers. Most of the time they're smaller, but when multiple ants hold down and dissect a wasp there's not a lot that wasp can do to defend itself.
Most likely there was no battle. Sometimes wasps recognize a hopeless situation and simply abandon their nests to restart elsewhere. They will leave their larva behind and the ants eat the larva.
I saw at least one wasp hovering around watching. I don't think there was much it could do.
Fuck wasps
Ants are no joke. They are literally like those swarm monsters you see in game. A few on their own? No problem! But when they band together they can fuck everything up.
I truly believe if we lived in another universe where ants absolutely hated humans and banded together to fight us, they would win because of the sheer amount of them.
The wasps forgot to expect the unexpected.
Jre brought me here. This is pretty incredible.
