How Ants Walk (imgur.com)

Wow. This is awesome. Ants adjust their movement based on their speed. So when they're going slow, only one leg is touching the ground, intermediate speed two legs are moving simultaneously and when running three legs are touching the ground.

I never realised ants were such fascinating creatures in regards to how they move. Nature is beautiful in how even the simplest of creatures like ants can be so remarkably complicated.
