"Supercolony"

CNN graphic - click here for the animated version

Today's Proceedings of the National Academy of Science (not yet posted) on a network of colonies of billions of Argentine ants, spread over thousands of miles of southern Europe. You can read about it in this BayInsider story.

Steve found this at Metafilter, which is where I found the link to the CNN graphic. CNN's got their own article, of course. Thanks, Steve!
