Mega Global Ant Colony

An animal community has been found that is so large it is second only to humans. It is a mega ant colony that stretches across multiple continents. Specifically it is the Argentine ant 'Linepithema humile'.

"A single mega-colony of ants has colonised much of the world, scientists have discovered.

Argentine ants living in vast numbers across Europe, the US and Japan belong to the same inter-related colony, and will refuse to fight one another.

The colony may be the largest of its type ever known for any insect species, and could rival humans in the scale of its world domination."
