@futurebird So tell me, she who knows, I've got some bugs coming up in the next section of my series of novellas. What's a good documentary on ant behaviour, possibly bees, for me to steal some cool bits for my alien bugs? My characters will be literally crawling into the nest, so I need a good primer. A lecture recorded at a university might also work.
I'm so glad you asked. These are general overviews of some of the most famous kinds of ants that everyone should know about.

@futurebird Wait, wait. So ants harvest resin from trees to piss on an make their own anti-biotics which they use to treat diseases within the nests? Holy shit.
