How many ants are needed to fill an apartment?

Ten ants!

Researchers at Texas A&M have proposed battling invasive South American fire ants with the phorid fly (aka the humpback fly). The fly lays eggs in the ant's body, and the resulting maggot eats through the ant's brain. The ant becomes disoriented and staggers around until eventually its head falls off.

wtf???
