Fire Ants Turn Into Floating Rafts?!

You won’t believe what’s drifting on Lake Travis—giant living rafts made entirely of fire ants! When their nests flood, these ants literally link up, bite each other, and float away as a massive, wriggling island. Not only do they survive, but they can still sting if you get too close. Only fire ants pull off this wild survival trick, and researchers are obsessed with how they do it. Nature is seriously next-level! #Science #Austin #FireAnts
