Just stepped at one of them and the rest will rush towards you like a flood. Luckily, there was a river nearby. When they attacked me, I almost felt like I was gonna passed out.

    I honestly would love to shrink myself and fit in with ants. To learn about how they work together and overcome crazy obstacles. They're fascinating in every way possible; never failing to amaze me with how coordinated and disciplined they are.
