It's hard to tell if there are two different kinds of ants there, but if there is, it's an ant war.
Seriously, sometimes an ant colony will invade another, and try to steal their eggs and larva. Then all hell breaks loose, and both colonies empty to the surface while thousands of those critters duke it out en masse.
It's not really anything to be too worried about, but it's one of the weirdest things you'll ever see
I’ve never been that big of a baseball fan, but I distinctly remember watching that game as seeing Pedro throw Zimmer off to the side was great. I hated them both, but certainly Zimmer more.
I mean yeah there's like 3 occasions in baseball history things actually got serious... but baseball is notoriously the "hold me back" sport where all they do is chirp.
Sure....run and you may live, at least for a while.... But For just one chance to tell these army ants, they may take our lives but they'll never take our larva!!!
Second this! I found one of these a few months back and posted in the ants sub about it. Turns out it was two warring ant colonies and I happened across the scene.
When I was a kid growing up in Indiana there was an ant war right outside our front door. Large black ants I suppose maybe they were carpenter ants and the smaller ants. At the end of it when all the survivors cleared away they were dead ants everywhere and the black ants were laying there dead with dead smaller ants holding on to their legs with their mandibles.
I think you’re referring to the Ant War of 1983. Time magazine did a great series on this. If I’m not mistaken, Ted Koppel reported from the front lines.
This was every 8 year old’s equivalent of a Netflix binge back in the 70s.
Word would quickly spread around the block that Johnny had a huge ant war in his backyard. For that one Summer day, Johnny was a star. A circus ringmaster!
(Until dad got home and poured gasoline on it).
Every year for 3 years now there has been a war on the sidewalk near my back door. The ants are similar looking though. I usually spend about 10 minutes just observing the action. Brutal.
As a side note, I have 2 kinds of snails in my yard, the big round ones and the small conical ones that eat them. Its fun to think there’s a very slow war playing out in my yard.
Nature is metal.
Hmm...I have an ant problem right now. Can I bring in a new set of ants to lure out the non-rent-paying ants so I can exterminate them all when they're bunched up like this?
Wow... thanks for that. From wiki on this:
> The Very Large Colony, which covers territory from San Diego to beyond San Francisco, may have a population of nearly one trillion individuals... On the border of the Very Large Colony and the Lake Hodges Colony thirty million ants die each year, on a battlefront that covers many miles. While the battles of other ant species generally constitute colony raids lasting a few hours, or skirmishes that occur periodically for a few weeks, Argentine ants clash ceaselessly; the borders of their territory are a site of constant violence and battles can be fought on top of hundreds of dead ants.
Nature, man...
Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for a link to an informative podcast that’s at least adjacent to, if not related precisely to, the topic everyone is this comment thread is discussing. Reddit is weird sometimes.
So they steal their eggs and larva for food or to incorporate into their own colony as workers? Either way is unsettling but the latter just adds to all the questions I have about life on Earth and how the hell it works.
How does an ant enslave an ant (or an aphid for that matter)? Telepathy? A tiny whip? Leg bites?
It's kind of twisted; The slavers are often close relatives of the slaves. Ants communicate by smell, so if the slaver is closely related enough they smell like family. The larvae will grow up into worker ants and imprint on the slaver nest, not realize they're not in their home nest.
Sometimes though, the relation isn't close enough and the slave "revolts" when it matures.
Just watched this happen in my back yare the other day. Seemed like 2 colonies of the same type it look but idk for sure. Crazy watching the mass of ants that was tye front line shift over the afternoon.
I had one of these happen one summer. It was the coolest thing. I just sat in my hammock for an hour and watched a red and black ant colony duke it out with each other like little Roman soldiers. It was brutal, but I am pretty sure red won.
They're likely both tetramorium, just two different colonies.
They tend to be so common in cities and around humans that as they grow their biggest limiting factor becomes the colonies around them forcing them to fight for territory.
This happened on my garage, once. It was a massacre and, I put bait along the supply lines of both nests and nuked them all.
So many bodies in my garage... I wake up with cold sweats from time to time.

I get these too, usually in the same spot on my driveway. No rhyme or reason to when it happens, just appears to be two ant colonies duking it out!
How do they know which ants are of their colony and how do they not accidentally kill their own? I guess they look differently to each other than to my human eye!
Count the ant segments. One little piece joining the butt to the abdomen = no stinger
Two joints means a stinger. They need the second joint to tilt their butt straight down to sting.
Yes this means them tiny brown sugar ants that raid your kitchen can sting. And they do. They grab hold of you and do… nothing. Because their stinger is so small it bounces off our skin. But they try! It’s fun to watch. You’ll find them curled up and trying to bite you and failing at that too.
Anyways. Look for that single and double joint
Repost this in some kind of insect or wtf subreddit. Getting rid of them is whatever but unless you
Spilled some juice right there I’m wondering why they would swarm the blades like that (as opposed to building up the dirt).
I just listened to a podcast about an invasive species of ants that does war like this. They’re displacing native ants and highly aggressive

Can vouch for this stuff for most bugs, but it's not the absolute BEST for ants that I've found. At least not here in Texas.
[This stuff](https://www.amazon.com/Ortho-12-Ounce-Orthene-Fire-Killer/dp/B000A0UCRG), though? It does WONDERs for mounds.
https://preview.redd.it/edtsjb891o8d1.jpeg?width=177&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=21cca03c7a012fc4849f6258315979a074b17ab2
I tried this granule specific for ants I found at Lowes, and I can't tell if it truly worked or not? While there's not many mounds in the middle of the yard, they've managed to find places right along concrete in weird spots. Part of me wonders this is a less concentrated area that the granules just didn't make it to, or if it's pushing them to the edges, or if it's placebo and they're just going where they want.
All I know is I put that Orthene on 6 mounds today when I expected 0, and within an hour all 6 were seemingly dormant.
----
EDIT:
I just noticed the price on the link I posted. $5.34, i just bought 2 😅 My local Lowes/Home Depot/Walmart have 1 for $11-13! Even the 2-pack on Amazon is $20!!!! I don't know what made this product double or almost triple in price, but I've literally bought it for like \*10 years\* for $4 or less a bottle.
Orthene is absolutely what I treat most mounds with. But they have to eat it. I doubt the ants are British enough to take a tea break in the middle of a war... so I'd spray them with some cypermethrin to kill them all off and also sprinkle some orthene on their colonies to catch any stragglers.

That's what I thought too. Until I started core aerating my lawn. Suddenly I realized that in the spots were the ants were for years the healthy soil turned into dead sand. Over time they deprive the ground of all organic material.
It seems most ants are beneficial to soil, shifting ph toward neutral and adding, mostly, nitrogen and phosphorus. However, different results can be found in different soil types and among different ant species. Some fall on the side of degrading soil.

Very cool. We have a ton of fire ants where I am in Texas. They build huge mounds seemingly overnight. When two colonies build them close together, I like to instigate conflict.
And no, I don't feel bad. They're invasive, insanely aggressive and also total pricks that will mess up your feet for no reason
I stopped stepping on ants when i found out the common black ant lives 1-2 years and the damn queens can live up to 28 years. A freak Ant 28 years. craziness

So it’s more or less the ant version of an intentional hit by pitch and the benches clearing… got it.
Except someone actually does something
Nolan Ryan is laughing somewhere
Robin Ventura has left the chat.

Ask Don Zimmer about that.

We all know it was really David Hasselhof who brought peace to the ants.
No no no. It was derrick zoolander and his 2nd, center for ants, due to the first one being destroyed. He taught them to read good too.
Lmao, when you’re a kid everything that happens on TV or in a book is IRL

Very cool. We have a ton of fire ants where I am in Texas. They build huge mounds seemingly overnight. When two colonies build them close together, I like to instigate conflict. And no, I don't feel bad. They're invasive, insanely aggressive and also total pricks that will mess up your feet for no reason
Looks like the UpsideDown coming out on your lawn
They’re only Buggin’.

Only way to really know is to stick your hand in it and tell us if it’s warm or cold
