       @futurebird hey... A friend just asked a question on a group chat. He saw two different ant nest openings about three feet apart, with ants pouring out of each and forming a "4-ant deep carpet roiling with purpose."He posted this video (I legit can't see anything, but my eyes are terrible) and I thought, "I follow someone who knows about ants!" Any idea what this behavior is?

       @twizzt @amoshiashwili @futurebird I also love ants (insects in general)! They are fascinating. That's why I paint them, like this forest ant:

       @jebba @amoshiashwili @futurebird I shoot with a canon r with the the 100mm 2.8L I had a 2.5x reynox close up filter on for this as well resulting in about 4x magnification.
