Longest Parade of Ants

That is an example of what you might hear, were you standing in my vicinity while I was counting the longest parade of ants.
Thankfully, I have never been involved in such an activity, because that would be an absolutely rubbish thing to do.

Why do ants travel in long parades? It's a question I recently asked a scientist.
What I was told was unbelievable: when you see an ant walking, it isn't actually walking it all: it is driving!
For all ants follow invisible roads, using a technology very similar to modern GPS systems - except instead of satellites, they use smells, and instead of technology, there is no technology!

The longest parade of ants was a parade of ants 48 ants long!

This amazing sight was spotted on a driveway in Brighton. It is thought that the ants were going to the beach to drown themselves.
