Beginning of the End (Ant horror films)
Ant horror films. Also includes Locusts, Grasshoppers, etc.
"None of the ants previously seen by man were more than an inch in length - most considerably under that size. But even the most minute of them have an instinct and talent for industry, social organization, and savagery that makes man look feeble by comparison."
Dr. Harold Medford - Them! (1954)
