Synopsis

Across the globe, conflict is a constant reality for ants. Their arsenal is a testament to natural selection: some boast formidable exoskeletons, others possess venomous stingers or powerful jaws. Yet, this diminutive creature, seemingly unremarkable, commands the largest empire ever constructed by its kind. A colony stretching across continents, it engages in wars that claim millions of lives. Consider this improbable warrior: *Linepithema humile*, the Argentine ant.
