This abandoned ant colony revealed how genius these tiny creatures are. Ants live underground – we usually see a relatively small exit on the surface. But you won’t believe the structures they build below. A group of researchers, armed with tons of cement, will show you.

All that incredible work...and now they are cemented there forever in their deaths. Poor little ants.
It is amazing to see what they did, however.

Terrific video.
A book that might also interest you, if you are impressed by this is The Soul Of The White Ant
by Eugène N. Marais, an incredible book about the collective life inside a South African termite mound.
