Superswarm (2009)
When animals swarm they create a super-organism of incredible power. They can attack our food supplies, immobilise our transport systems, undermine our cities and even attack our energy supplies. They can stop us in our tracks. Using state-of-the-art photography, Superswarms reveals the collective intelligence behind the animal invasions, and how man fights back.

Ant intelligence is weird. Think of ants not as individuals, but more like each ant as a nerve cell, able to send signals to the colony. These signals dictate how the ants perceive and react to the world around them. An individual ant is going to be killed and picked off by the mantis, but by releasing chemicals and pheromones upon its death, it creates a response in the swarm that tells soldier ants “threat here, eliminate it”. Basically the entire colony is one big brain, with individuals being small sensory receptors that process information and react to that info accordingly

Like a set or collection of algorithms forming a mesh of independent behavior patterns that work in tandem, thanks to evolution spanning millions upon millions of years. Swarm intelligences are interesting in terms of emergent phenomena. But to anyone else reading this, no it's no substrate for consciousness. Consciousness requires more centralized control and a more clear hierarchical structure of function, which swarm intelligences don't allow. One behavior pattern doesn't override others via feedback systems in a swarm intelligence, which is something we know is required for consciousness to arise. But intelligence can exist without consciousness, so there's that.

It would more like "Martha". All worker and soldier ants are sterile females - indeed, that's the case for pretty much all social insects. There's the queen who can lay eggs, one or more males whose sole purpose is to mate with the queen, and the rest of the colony are either sterile females or would-be queens.

Praying Mantis: gets brutally decapitated The music: 😇🪽😄 2:19
I got curious about something: I was under the impression that Praying Mantises not only had a very quick attack speed, but were also very mobile (I thought they could fly short distances or at least jump long distances). I wonder if this one couldn't move before the ants swarmed it, or if it made the worst decision of its short life by underestimating the ants. I imagine it thinking something along the lines of: "Oh, one of them climbed on me, but it's no biggie; I can still eat one or two more before it becomes troublesome" quickly followed by: "I've made a terrible mistake."; or "I calculated the risks, but man, I sure am bad at math!"

if ants we're to be big like a size of a rat then our humanity will find a way to make those ants in our food chain just because ants are a lot cleaner than rat yet ants are smaller compare to rats.

What was more intriging was the burial. That was very fascinating.

Allah the almighty is the creator of such creations. "People, here is an illustration, so listen carefully: those you call on beside God could not, even if they combined all their forces, create a fly, and if a fly took something away from them, they would not be able to retrieve it, how powerless are those who invoke and those invoked!" [chapter 22: verse73 QURAN] "They have not shown Allah the reverence He deserves. Surely Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty." [Chapter 22: verse 74 QURAN]

It's quite a change in perspective to consider the ant swarm as a single organism, rather than as a multitude of individual organisms.
