I have always admired ants. I used to observe them for days when I was little. Once we had to move the colony to a few meters distance, away from the road construction. The ants we're real quick in their reconstruction and they started to use the tree next to it to gather resources.

The idea of them taking over the planet is too much though. Although they are quite smart, that is for an insect.

Plus, the colonies don't like each other too much. In the area where I come from there have been colony wars due to deforestation and lack of resources. It caused millions of ants to die, leaving the surviving ones witch just enough materials.

And where I come from, the ant colonies aren't really huge and the ants hibernate during the winter in their colonies.
