    Quintillions of ants? How bad does this ever get in reality? I had to look it up. The average ant colony, counted between all species of ants, numbers 20k to 100k ants. The largest ant colony recorded to date, the Argentine Ant Supercolony, has an estimated 307 million ants in it, spanning 6000 km from Italy to the Spanish Atlantic coast. (Not sure how dense, but it's 51 ants per meter, and probably not evenly spread.) ...So, massive, but not infinite. I don't know, maybe that satisfies someone's curiosity, or comforts someone who was given the heebie jeebies by this episode. ...Obviously no numbers limit in a horror-farming hellscape reality twimst, but ay.
