I'm more concerned about the giant desert ants. I've seen that movie...

  Or jungle ants... "Commissioner: Leiningen, you're up against a monster twenty miles long and two miles wide... forty square miles of agonizing death! You can't stop it!" -- quote from The Naked Jungle. Trivia - I believe this is from where Clojure got their build tool name.

    The movie is from the classic original story “Leinengen Versus the Ants”: The Brazilian official threw up lean and lanky arms and clawed the air with wildly distended fingers. "Leiningen!" he shouted. "You're insane! They're not creatures you can fight--they're an elemental--an 'act of God!' Ten miles long, two miles wide--ants, nothing but ants!”

      I first learned about it through the Season 1, Episode 6 MacGyver episode Trumbo's World.
