Fire ants form rafts to survive hurricane
« on: August 31, 2017, 10:37:06 AM »
Hi everyone,

Here is an interesting article and video about fire ants that clump together to form rafts to survive the hurricane.

They stick together with a membrane that does not sink even when pushed down....

Cheers.
