One exciting yet dangerous fact about ants is that they sometimes follow their partners so diligently that they eventually die from exhaustion! Yes, a video showing a colony of ants getting caught in a 'spiral death trap' went online on the web due to this habit.
A viral video showing a massive colony of ants swirling around in a circle like a whirlpool has recently made rounds on the internet. It shows the tiny insects getting caught in what is known as the 'death spiral', where they move in a circular trail until they die from exhaustion. These creatures are practically blind, marking their path by either using their pheromonal system or following the directions taken by other ants. For this reason, in the footage, the ants begin to follow one another, forming a continuously rotating circle called Circular Death Trap. Demonic Insect?
