zeitgeist57 Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 Looks awesome. More than a few ants still entombed in that thing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted December 15, 2013 Report Share Posted December 15, 2013 Pretty wild, never would have imagined an ant colony would be so big This is a very tiny example of an ant mound. Here's another example of a dug out mound. This one was filled with concrete. I don't recall what species of ant or too much detail as it's been so long. Keep in mind that there are currently existing super-colonies of the Argentine ant that are so big they literally cross borders. They are capable of multiple queen mounds/societies, much like the imported fire ant, which gives them the ability to become so large.
