@assuredfuture: This is called an "ant mill" or a "death spiral," and it's terrifying example of a system bug in nature. Many ant species navigate by following the pheromone trail of the ant directly in front of them. It's a simple, decentralized algorithm that's usually very effective for finding food. But if the lead ants get confused and the trail accidentally loops back onto itself, the colony can get stuck in a biological infinite loop. They will follow each other in a circle until they die of exhaustion. It's a literal system crash. #animal #animalsoftiktok #animals #animaux #animales #nature #naturaleza #ant #ants #insect #insects #insectos #bicho #bichos #interesting #interestingfacts
