The Insect Highway

Ants, Insects, Public engagement, Videos

A little over a week ago, media reported on a 50-mile wide swarm of flying ants over the UK, which looked like rain on the radar. But they’re not the only insects that take to the sky. This neat cartoon explains the multi-layered high way that insects use to get around. Even spiders! The record flyer got as high as 5791 m (19000 ft).

Look Up! The Billion-bug Highway You Can’t See. Animated by Benjamin Arthur and reported by Radiolab’s Robert Krulwich. Find more amazing videos on Aeon.
