Apparently it streches from Spain to Italy! The most interesting quote I
found was at the end.

"However, in the long run the very cooperation that seems to make them
successful could lead to the supercolony's self-destruction, he suggested.
That's because in such a giant colony many workers are unrelated to the
queens they help to raise. "Thus, in the long term, selection should
decrease the altruistic behavior of workers," he said, because their efforts
are not helping transmit copies of their genes via related queens.""

So the ants are workers are going to become selfish...Does this mean they
will become self-aware? How could they be selfish, if they have no sense of
being...
