Festival about social insects

"Flip over an old log, or tear off some bark, and you can find termite workers and ants scurrying through wooden tunnels."

As part of the annual Insect Fear Film Festival at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, which will be held at Foellinger Auditorium on Feb. 23rd, an article appeared in the News Gazette on the role of social insects in our everyday life. You will see that social insects are virtually everywhere. And they are a lot more exciting when looking up-close.
