Ants Africa

This video won the OPEN category of the 2012 ESA YouTube Your Entomology contest. The video, by Marlin E. Rice, shows a swarm of predatory ponerine ants searches the African savanna for their prey--termites. When they locate a colony, they bite and sting their victims, and then return to the nest with jaws loaded with dead prey. For more information, see http://entsoc.org/entomology2012/yout...
