Ant ballet (w / video) | Science News | Scoop.it

Artist and designer Ollie Palmer uses a synthetic pheromone to control the movements of his ants, with the aim of creating a kind of balletic ant dance. These 'Argentine ants' (Linepithema humileants) are too invasive to be brought back to the UK, so Ollie currently works with ants out in Barcelona.
