I guess "the internet" never watched The Naked Jungle (with Charlton Heston).

And in strong contrast to the humans in the film loom the ants, the Marabunta.

With them, it’s all for one, and one for all. When they cannot cross a river, for example, they team up and carry leaves to the river's edge, using the plants as transportation, as rafts. And when they decide on a goal or a path, nothing can stand in their way. There is no contemplation of a single ant's needs, or individual flaws.

That was a great movie. Those ants seemed to think as one.

I saw it and remember it well.......

And what I saw way back then was reinforced when I was in Panama and actually witnessed (almost stepping into) one of those giant caravans of leaf cutter ants.........talk about being totally creeped out!

I hate ants and will even break the law to kill them.......
