A single mega-colony of ants has colonised much of the world, scientists have discovered.
Argentine ants living in vast numbers across Europe, the US and Japan belong to the same inter-related colony, and will refuse to fight one another.
The colony may be the largest of its type ever known for any insect species, and could rival humans in the scale of its world domination.
What's more, people are unwittingly helping the mega-colony stick together.
Argentine ants (Linepithema humile) were once native to South America. But people have unintentionally introduced the ants to all continents except Antarctica.
These introduced Argentine ants are renowned for forming large colonies, and for becoming a significant pest, attacking native animals and crops.
In Europe, one vast colony of Argentine ants is thought to stretch for 6,000km (3,700 miles) along the Mediterranean coast, while another in the US, known as the "Californian large", extends over 900km (560 miles) along the coast of California. A third huge colony exists on the west coast of Japan.
That's news of the cool in my book. Anyone ever play SimAnts? That game was fun.
This is the kind of stuff that will get the world to unite together to take down the evil ant threat that could threaten humanity. This could be mankind's final hours.
People in Fort Wayne are celebrating today.

A 15-year-old girl told a jury yesterday that Hector Ayala, 59, a man she once considered family, tricked her into having sex by saying that it would ward off misfortune and help make wishes come true.
The girl is the third to testify at trial that Ayala, who is charged with rape, aggravated sexual assault and several related offenses, fooled her into sex by invoking untold mysticism.
She said that when she was 13, Ayala read her Tarot cards and said that he saw bad luck in her near future. He told her that it could be averted if she allowed him to perform oral sex on her.

TWISP, Wash. -- In the foothills of the North Cascades, where the veil between dimensions is said to be thinnest, inhabitants of this world gather once a year to coexist with fairies in theirs.
About 250 people came to the Methow Valley June 26 through 28 from as far away as Europe and Hawaii to participate in the ninth annual Fairy and Human Relations Congress, an outdoor festival in a secluded mountain meadow called Skalitude.
A giant crop circle depicting a pinwheel-shaped sun had been cut into the high grass. An open-air tent pavilion stood at the lower end of the meadow. Farther up, white peace banners fluttered in a circular array.
"The purpose of the congress is to encourage communication and cooperation of the fairy realm," said Michael "Skeeter" Pilarski, the event's founder and organizer.
The human world is in crisis and can use all the help it can get, Pilarski said, so why not form alliances with those in other realms?
Just heard about this on the Jason Ellis Show, so I don't have a link.
Apparently, there is/was only one factory in the world that manufactures Slim Jims (the beef snack food). The factory recently had a major explosion, and therefore there hasn't been any Slim Jims produced since.
The company apparently isn't sure when they'll resume making them, IF EVER.
So now, Slim Jim fans are reportedly buying them all up in an attempt to hoard them.
That "we might never make them again" thing sounds like a brilliant marketing move. Wait until they are all bought and then "decide" to start making them again.
I haven't had one in about 10+ years, but if I see one at the store, I might pick one up, just in case.
An amazing variety of items comes up when you search "slim jim" on ebay.
