Default Inside ant city
This is truly amazing, but I don't think it's right it should have been destroyed.

The structure covers 538 square feet and travels 26 feet into the earth. In it ’s construction, the colony moved 40 tons of soil. Billions of ant loads of soil were brought to the surface. Each load weighed four times as much as the worker ant, and in human terms, was carried over 1/2 mile to the surface.
