Right Round Like A Record, Baby

 

As if watching ants die in one big group in an insane way wasn't cool enough already, THEN you add some funky cool music and the whole moment becomes even better.

Have you ever encountered an Army Ant Death Spiral? Aso known as an ant mill, It's a freaky phenomenon where a cluster of army ants become separated from the main foraging party. This can cause them to lose the pheromone track, and in turn they begin following each other in a never-ending spiral. Sometimes, the ants spiral until they die from exhaustion. There is a strange, hypnotic beauty about these ants spiraling themselves to death.
