Superswarm (2009)
When animals swarm they create a super-organism of incredible power. They can attack our food supplies, immobilise our transport systems, undermine our cities and even attack our energy supplies. They can stop us in our tracks. Using state-of-the-art photography, Superswarms reveals the collective intelligence behind the animal invasions, and how man fights back.

  • Mantis didn't seem too bothered being eaten alive. He was just like "ah well, my future wife would have done the same thing to me anyways"

    “They gather lumps of mud and bury the problem”

    Imagine eating a granola bar then your granola bar calls for reinforcements and they all rip your head off.

    reminder that the mantis has one of the best eyes in the insect world, he was seeing all that in 4k
  • @cyber2cyke
    Mantis came for dinner but became the main course real quick.
  • In terms of scale, this is pretty much the equivalent of you going hunting, and you catch a squirrel, but then all of a sudden you’re swarmed by squirrels until they literally bite your head off

    Props to the ant who filmed inside of the nest!

    Nothing can beat team work you mess with one ant you mess with 1000s brutal
  • @TheStapleGunKid
    It's amazing that ants actually know how to identify poison insects and dispose of them. How could insect intelligence process something like that? It's really amazing.
  • @TenOrbital
    The mantis seemed fairly relaxed about the proceedings.

    I hate driver ants, but it was still kind of cool how they buried the millipede like they made their own funeral for him

    I'm so glad I wasn't born as a insect. What a brutal life it would be.
  • One minute your chillin out, having a snack, the next minute you're being decapitated. Such is life.
