I've always been fancinated by ants but more importantely when the ants go to war with each other. I've seen some short clips from TV with colonies
fighting each other but it wasn't much. Does anyone know any place where I can see some videos with ants fighting each other?

Dude, I dont got no movies on warring ant colonies.
BUT....I cant help make your dream come true..
If you are feeling bold, catch a couple thousand black ants in on box, couple thousand in the second box.
dump em all in one box and sit back and enjoy the experience! HOME MADE ANT WAR MOVIE!!

I don't know where any would be, but I know what you are talking about. I have seen one on National Geographic or Discover. The ants are absolutely
vicious! They can actually decapitate one another. Try a Google search.

You could always go buy 2 ant farms, get 2 types of ants (of course they would have to hate each other)
then when the colonies are established in your ant farm, you could remove one pane of plastic from each farm, stick them together and see who
wins.....
Feels kinda like God huh
Actually I remember reading a short scifi story once about a guy who altered ants (he choose ants because of their organization etc) and they took
over his lab, after he pissed them off. Sorry I can't remember the name of the book or story

You wanna see an amzing ant?
This is called Hormiga Culona. Translated word for word, it means BigButt Ant.
They are DELICIOUS deep fried. You only eat the queens.
The padrastros (kinda like a scout) have wings, as the queens do, the soldiers have HUGE mandibules on them and bite right through skin.

Oh no..these have their own unique flavor, you use a magnifying glass , aim it at the hole, for some reason the intense heat brings out the queens,
you pick the queens up, and fight off the soldiers (wear your socks over your pants with a rubber band around them to keep them up)
When you have enough of them, you pull the head, wings and legs off, throw them into hot HOT oil, and crunch crunch, enjoy.
The "butt" part just deep fries on the outside, on the inside it is squishy
yuummm (I grew up in South America, so my friends intoduced me to this little delicacy..they still send me some when they are in season)

ive seen some cool ant videos on discovery channel, you gotta try and get one of those they have ants fighting animals like deer or something like
that and they actually win. Its amazing how many different types of ants their are and how dangerous some are and how some even kill people. Try
getting a tape from disovery channel it worth it. we should all be hapy that they are not smart enough and have a will to kill people. The other day I
saw a little bit on discovery about a bullet ant thats an inch long, good thing they are only in the U.S. in captive and not wild. They are called
bullet ant because their bite feels like your getting shot. I have a lot more info on ants but dont want to overwhelm you so just do a search if your
interested

I wonder, (if there really were), one all-powerful being like God, if he'd get off on putting us different human "colonies" against eachother just
for the sheer entertainment of seeing us kill eachother.
I'd imagine he'd get the same kick out of watching us decapitate eachother, as we could watching the ants do the same.

The only footage I've seen of warring ant colonies has been on TV specials. I have some nasty ant porn though. "Taking it up the Ant!" & "Ant
Bukkake" are my favs..

I dont have any videos, I just pit them together by myself. Normaly me and my friends go into a forest (only a couple blocks from where we live), find
a hill, get a pre-determined number of ants, and pit them together. Whoevers ants win, gets the money. Sometimes we throw in other scary bugs and
animals. Its a great way to kill a couple hours.
