Five ant species and their colonies dominate in my giant indoor ecosystem of connected vivariums. These ants are engaged in a constant war for survival, at odds with each other and their environment. I visit these various ant empires, delve into the habitats and ecological niches they occupy to uncover what has led to their success. But after one ant superpower summoned a swarm which broke out into my home, I knew I needed to execute an Antpocalypse.
