- josefresco 18y agoYou don't want to know maan. Chaos. In all seriousness I would imagine every ant carrying each other to the 'dead' pile over and over and over until the smell wore off all the ants and life returned to normal. Could we combine the 'follow' scent with this and create some sort of elaborate Rube Goldberg ant machine?
