>.> You don't need to chase ants away for them to freak out and swarm you. They don't even need to freak out. You just need to provide a food source and/or be in their way...

A type of army ant is blind, with flesh-tearing pincers...and forms a "sea" of ants capable of stripping a horse to the bone while on the move. *shudders*

I like spiders much more than ants...partly because they eat the little buggers, and partly because they are generally more defensive than offensive. Shelob and Ungoliant forever! (Lord of the Rings/The Simarillion)
