The 'ant mill' has been observed in army ants that have lost their pheromone trail. This results in a spiral formation whereby the ants mistakenly follow one another, ultimately leading to death by exhaustion. Pursued by an invisible and unconscious force, it is almost as if they desire their own destruction. materials: washing machine drum, pheromone perfume, resin, foam, electronics
