Green tree ants, a species long renowned across the tropics, are the subject of a new short documentary exploring how they have thrived for millions of years. The film also examines 'imposters' — other creatures that mimic or exploit the ants' colonies. Science and nature enthusiasts are sharing the piece, drawn to the ants' remarkable ecological success and unusual social behaviour.
Why now: A new nature documentary highlighting the ants' evolutionary success is circulating among science audiences.
