Excavating a giant ant colony

The structure covers 538 square feet and travels 26 feet into the earth. In it’s construction, the colony moved 40 tons of soil. Billions of ant loads of soil were brought to the surface. Each load weighed four times as much as the worker ant, and in human terms, was carried over 1/2 mile to the surface.

How would you like it if I poured liquid concrete down your eighth wonder of the world?

That's really cool looking, I wonder what they do in those little rooms. Ant parties?

I wonder how much we'd protest if aliens did this to us.
