Formican Architecture

I showed this to a friend, and he wants me to post it. You betcha! The good stuff starts about halfway through- the first part is breathless voice-over that I basically won't tolerate any more. The general gist is that researchers filled an ant colony with concrete, let it set, then excavated the cast. The whole thing reminds me of the alien architecture from the Alien series of movies; the architecture itself has an organic aspect.

Many of the comments are about how horrid scientists are for destroying this colony. Sorry, they're ants. If they were in your house or even in your yard, you wouldn't hesitate to wipe them out. In this case, we come to understand them a little better- which we don't with pest extermination.
