Timelapse Fire Ant Colony Rebuilding After a Storm

This is a timelapse taken over 15 hours of a fire ant colony before, during, and after a heavy rain storm. There was about an hour and a half of very heavy rain which collapsed the anthill. When the rain stopped, the ants poured out and spent many hours rebuilding the hill bigger and better. • I setup my DSLR camera to take pictures with an intervalometer just in time before the rain started. I’ve tried this a few times and usually something goes wrong, either the rain doesn’t come or it rains but the ants don’t do anything afterward. This time it worked out perfectly. • The beginning of the video up until it stops raining is at 420x normal speed then it changes to around 720x normal speed. I included a few real-time clips taken while the time-lapse camera was running (1:40) so you can see how slow of a process it actually is for the ants. • #timelapse #anthillart
