Army ant behavior

Army ants are highly organized and mobile predators that work together as a colony. They don't build permanent nests; instead, they form temporary, living "bivouacs" made of their bodies. They hunt by forming large, coordinated groups to overwhelm and capture prey, moving quickly and methodically. Their behavior is driven by a combination of chemical signals and simple rules that guide individual ants to follow scent trails, communicate, and adapt to changing conditions. This collective coordination allows them to efficiently locate food, defend their colony, and sustain their rapid, nomadic lifestyle.
