The colony may be the largest of its type ever known for any insect species, and could rival humans in the scale of its world domination.

Fine, let the ants solve 'global warming' then!

I welcome our new ant overlords. : P

We need to get a breeding program going to raise a lot more of our Echidnas here in Australia and start exporting them to Europe!

The only ants standing up and destroying them in my area are black wood ants which survive by their sheer mandible power and organization tactics: they will invariably send search parties for other collonies and then come back with reinforcements to destroy them.

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Interesting -- now the question is, how long ago were these Argentine ants introduced in Europe and Japan. Argentine ants living in vast numbers across Europe, the US and Japan belong to the same inter-related colony, and will refuse to fight one another. The colony may be the largest of its type ever known for any insect species, and could rival humans in the scale of its world domination. What's more, people are unwittingly helping the mega-colony stick together. Argentine ants (Linepithema humile) were once native to South America. But people have unintentionally introduced the ants to all continents except Antarctica. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.

Mankind can not begin to venture into space and hope to encounter alien beings until it learns to communicate with the colonial insects.

So far, we have learned to take advantage of honey bees is what is a co operative effort, but we still can’t communicate
