its called the ants mill... n they do that bc they r lost so instead of walking they start freaking out and start running until they find another ant... the ants think "oh here is another ant let me follow it" but the other ant is thinking the same thing so basically they run in circles until they die.. D:
Like raum266 said, the ants are literally following eachother in a circle...till death! Unless they are disturbed and forced into another route. You saved lots of little lives with your leaves! :D
This is actually know as a circle pit. The little buggars are enjoying some metal band, probably Slayer judging by the ferociousness with which they move.
This is actually known as a Death Spiral, or Ant Mill - Basically the ants lose their scent trail and proceed to follow one another - walking in a circle until they die.

why didn't you take the opportunity to finish those ants once and for all? You could've poured some everclear on those ants and lit them on fire. no more ants no matter how much crumbs you s[ill on the floor.
i saw a video on youtube by discoverynetworks and it said that each ant follows the scent of the one infront of it and sometimes they get looped around each other and it creates this. these ants could be blind.
This happens because the ants have lost the pheremone to their nest, so they follow each other in a circle until they die of exhaustion or smell the pheremone again.
they do this because the smell of pheromone that they are following is gone so they will just follow each other in circles and later die in exhaustion
they follow hormones of some sort because they can't see very well. If they get lost they follow other ants and when they're all lost this happens or something like that
@frankania in case you were wondering, this is called an ant mill. it occurs because ant follow each other by a specific scent. if the ant looses that scent, then they will walk in a circle following each other, until they die of exhaustion. kind of like a mass ant suicide. luckily, you scared them into running away. you saved a million lives... gratz?
@frankania The reason they're going into a circle is that they travel following pheromones. These are army ants, and thus blind. The pheromone trail somehow ended up in a circle which causes them to loop continuously. Had you not dropped the leaf, they probably would have kept going until they died. But as it is, you dropped the leaf, breaking the trail and through some miracle got them back on track and saved their lives.
@frankania Ants always follow a sent trail, and when this is disturbed, they don't know the direction they should head. Also, when an ant get's startled, it produces a sent which will make the other ants around him aware that he is in danger. The ants will react to this in the way they are programmed by nateure: the soldiers will come closer and attack or defend the nest (not the single ant), the workers will get away as soon as possible and they are likely to lose the trail themselves.
@frankania Ants follow eachother by tracing a scent given off by ants in front, this circle happens when an ant gets out in front by mistake and doesnt realise, therefor all the ants follow in a never-ending circle until they all die of de-hydration or exhaustion, so by throwing the leaf in the middle and dispersing them you unknowingly saved thousands of ant lives! :)
@frankania they wasnt dancing you actually helped by putting the leaf down when they do that they get confused and just follow each other round in circles untill they all die if you was to leave them they would of simply died
Another Video said they go in a Circle til they Die. Cuz they are running Fast to get bk Home. But u said they were all gone a few minutes Later ???? Where they go
Ants follow pheromones to know where they're supposed to go. If there are no pheromones around, they follow each other. Who's to say the dude in the front of the line knows where he's going? And hence you get a bunch of ants running around in a circle. The end.
They do this because they have no where else to go. they all follow each together in a circle and eventually they die of exhaustion. Basically they are committing suicide.
@habscup123 They're not committing suicide. Suicide is voluntarily ending your life. These ants are relying on one of their primary senses for survival. The pheromone trail they are following unlucky got interrupted so they have no sense of direction which will lead to their demise.
Due to lack of bio traces from the colony, it causes the group to follow each other in a circular pattern, which eventually lead them to die of exhaustion, It's called "Ant Mill Effect".
It's called an Ant mill, ants require a pheromone trail that they follow if they ever loose that scent they start to follow each other in a circle until the die from exhaustion or find a alpha path.
they are blind and they follow a certain scent back to the hive but when the scent gets mixed up they follow the ants scent in front of them endlessly. usually they die of exhaustion but i dont know how they found the scent back to the hive
Well they are army ants so they r blind and how the do this is follow another ants trail and if that ant then follows another ant all the other ants follow the leader
@Chamillionare64 Holy fuck me too, what the fuck, I was watching naked japanese guys dancing, then Ozzy, then this, I just realized because I saw your comment... What the fuck D:
scent feppgets swirled up and they just run as fast as they following the scent until they die or the scent is interrupted by something like the leaf you dropped...
They do this if the 'leader' ant starts following one of the ants behind the trail that is following him. They are blind so they just follow each other and they become locked like that forever following them until they either die or their circle is disturbed.
Discovery did a bit on this. They get locked in a circle following the scent of one in front of them. They supposedly will do it till they die unless disrupted.
@artuur182 Army ants. Usually ants use chemical trails to tell ants that they've found a good food source. Anyway, army ants are blind, so they can't see where they are, therefore they couldn't figure out that they were just simply running around in a bunch of circles. The ants are falling the chemical trail left by the ant in front of them, who's falling the other ant's trail, and so on. So basically they'll usually just run around in a circle trying to get back to their colony until they die.
Thousands of ants rushing around in a circle on my front steps here in Veracruz, MEXICO--5 minutes later they were all gone. Anyone know why they do this? -------------------- ITS A ANTS' PARTY!
my question is; did he really save their lives or prolong them by a certain amount of time.
because they still won't find the way back, right? and they can't procreate either, right?
