BIAlso known as an ant mill, this phenomenon happens when a group of army ants loses the pheromone trail and starts blindly following each other in a loop.
Trapped in a circle of confusion, they march until exhaustion… and death.
The largest spiral recorded was over 365 meters (1200 feet) in circumference. Each ant took approximately 2 hours to complete the loop.
