This viral video seems to be newly noticed behaviour that has got the
entomologists quite excited.

It is blowing my mind BillK.  I have been looking for any hints that the
video is fake, but it looks real to me.  I have half a mind to try to get
some of those ants, breed them up and see if we can replicate the behavior.
It is very exciting to discover a previously unknown talent in old friend.
