Bizarre Ant Colony Discovered in an Abandoned Polish Nuclear Weapons Bunker

Annalee Newitz:

For the past several years, a group of researchers has been observing a seemingly impossible wood ant colony living in an abandoned nuclear weapons bunker in Templewo, Poland, near the German border. Completely isolated from the outside world, these members of the species Formica polyctena have created an ant society unlike anything we’ve seen before.

Fascinating nature. Intruiging headline.
