Ant Death Spiral

[ekwat]

I only heard of this today and I'm quite amazed. Plenty of videos on Youtube if you are interested, although they go by different names.


The basics from what I can gather is Ants have fairly basic software/programming and this can sometimes cause this phenomena. The ants follow a leader/scout using pheromones. If this ant does a circle and starts following the rear of the troop then

THIS

occurs. They can continue this until death.

one little door they are queuing in a orderly fashion roud:
