well, i'll start on making my flamethrower now then. Firebats would be effective against antlings right?

This is kind of interesting. I was just watching a documentary on ants earlier today. They were talking about how ants communicate by way of pheromones. These pheromone messages are carried and passed from one ant to another until the message gets to everyone that it needs to. Apparently this is very fast. It apparently would only take a few hours for an entire forest of one species of ant to know of a disturbance like a fire or even the location of something that might threaten "the hive." It doesn't sound like a long distance, but if you really think about it, a forest compared to something the size of an ant could be equivalent to an area the size of Manhattan. Of course they'd have trouble communicating through distances although it's not hard to imagine an adaptive species of ant that might cook up something like long distance pheromone transport. :D Watch out the swarm is coming.
What's that probe doing there? It's a scout. You mean one of those flying planes? No....
