In a July study, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology found fire ants link their bodies with one another to ensure colonies stick together — an action made possible thanks to the sticky pads underneath their feet.
When faced with obstacles such as water, the fire ants — sometimes thousands of them — kick into survival mode by forming rafts or other convenient structures. The finished product resembles a pile of dirt or wood chips, but upon closer inspection, the moving ants are visible.
A 2011 study from the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences(PNAS) found that a group of fire ants can sustain buoyancy in water from days to weeks, assembling the raft in as few as 100 seconds. Both utterly brilliant and completely terrifying.
