incredible complexity of ant colony architecture

Amazing! I just imagine there was and still is a group of people that have such a conection with nature and iner underestanding that they do not need actually to "touch" the thing i.e. to kill the ants to know they are incredible and deserve our respect.

This is pretty damn cool. I always wondered how far some of these ant colonies could spread... Obviously this isn't your backyard variety of ants...just watching that one ant try to chew through the plastic tube was kinda shocking...shocking because he almost succeeded. Imagine if that was flesh.

"The structure covers 538 square feet and travels 26 feet into the earth. In it's construction, the colony moved 40 tons of soil."

It's species like this that put plain old evolutionary theory in a spin. How does a group consciousness like this evolve?

This was a pretty cool experiment(though not so for the ants!), in learning better ways to create energy efficient buildings.
