A single fire ant discovers a cube of sugar—but bringing it home is never simple. The safest route isn't always the shortest, and every new trail must avoid holes, puddles, rocks, and anything else that can break the colony's march.
Draw a path across the ground and watch the ants follow your trail. Each successful trip adds another worker to the line, creating a longer, faster colony that becomes harder to guide through increasingly crowded terrain. Plan every curve carefully, collect every piece of sugar, and keep the march moving without losing your growing chain.
The farther your colony travels, the more precise your routes must become. One clever trail can feed the entire nest.
