Fire Ants in the Pool | A Real Bug's Life | National Geographic

When their home is flooded, fire ants band together to ensure their colony survives. By sticking close together they can form a living liferaft that floats above the surface of the water and carries them to their new home - if they can find one!
Inspired by Pixar's A Bug's Life and narrated by Awkwafina, A Real Bug's Life is now streaming on Disney+.
Only the most adaptable bugs can thrive in an ever-changing Texan backyard. Watch the full episode of National Geograpic's A Real Bug's Life, Season 1 Episode 3, "Braving the Backyard" on Disney+

rip to those who sunk so others can float. 😢

[@TheAgiovannym]

A mission greater than the individual .

[@WildAlchemicalSpirit]

Yes, the sacrificial ants. The true heroes of this story.

[@FuHackers-wx9lq]

Not only the strongest creatures on 🌏... But, clearly the most generous! 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜

[@scrotooftheninefingers218]

@@FuHackers-wx9lq Unless you’re talking about me: I’m the most generous creature on this planet… when I’m makin’ luuuuv

[@chehsunliu]

Just curious how this was filmed... incredible

[@WildAlchemicalSpirit]

Probably with excellent macro lenses and the help of AI.

[@stainlesssteel3162]

Its pretty obvious that the whole thing is staged. Consisting of several set pieces and tanks, none of this actually happened.

[@im_agine852]

In bits and pieces...in a Hollywood style location.

[@mominsetu]

Ant version of Titanic

[@ulyssesmullins3181]

It’s hard to believe they didn’t plan this

[@luismendozALuis]

I was in the moments

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

And yet Americans don't even provide universal health care to each other. We could learn from the ants

[@WildAlchemicalSpirit]

Those ants don't have universal health care either. The narrator said "by putting the lives of others before their own, the colony has survived." In other words, some ants are sacrificed to save other ants and for the "greater good". Sounds a lot like our current system to me. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@albertogomez78787]

Like they say.. All’s Well That Ends Well

[@PeaceMusickRecordsIndia]

Really organic content at Nat Geo always

[@MemphiStig]

This *will* be an animated movie soon. With a love story and some life lessons for the kids.

A brief intro on Colonialism.

[@sirensynapse5603]

There was a horror film in the 80s with ants eating everyone up...good pool scene there. :)
