Why tho? Like you can literally see them just able to walk upside down on the roof, what's the point?

Gotta admit, this is what I was thinking.

You can walk on walls... why have 99% of your dudes hanging in the air for no reason?

If this is true it proves that ants can think tactically.

Ants won't a make a beeline for a bee nest.

Anyways look at that natural paraboliic shape. Maybe they are attached to something.

Nothing says surprise attack like slowly building a long bridge in plain sight of them

The thought of that video scares me, but it also intrigues me.. do they plan this shit? Or like who decides when and where and how and everything.

lifeforms be crazy, man

They do. Presumably what happened was scouts discovered the nest while on patrol, realized there's food inside, and reported back to the rest of the workers.
The workers then decided to go try and attack it, but probably got killed by hornets when they tried to go right into it from the roof. So they end up building the bridge to evade the hornets from below, and it apparently worked lol.

Like, I'm not exaggerating. Ants don't fuck around, they're probably one of the smartest non-human animals on the planet

They are amazing!

Fire Ants can bunch together to create a raft to float on water.

Antscanada does great ant videos. I watched his fireant colony over a year from single queen ant to god knows how many thousands now.

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5vZEY2A9f_jEe0y_6MGmcsaMIa1gO3wU

But yeah back to this video, how the hell do they coordinate this shit. And how did they even make it.

Are they climbing over a wire that was already there? I don't see how they could form a rope and then bend it up to the nest.

The Argentine ant (common black ant) is one of only two Global Mega Colonies on earth.

The other species is humans. And there are far more black ants than humans.

by my understanding, ants do this because:

1) workers can't really fight well and are far more numerous
2) soldier ants (the larger ones marching along the bridge and carrying the hornet larvae out) aren't able to stick to the roof because they're much bigger and heavier, and most of the weight is in their head/mandibles
3) the bridge-building thought mechanism they experience is something like "if someone's trampling me, stay put" so it doesn't automatically result in the most efficient bridge
