'It is estimated that there are at least a few hundred million ants in this entire nest,' ant specialist Luc Gomel said.
A beach in France is the latest stronghold to have been invaded by millions of tiny insects, wrecking the local ecosystem.
Ants have colonized the dunes of a beach in the town of Mauguio-Carnon, on the outskirts of Montpellier. They have also been found taking over other areas of the country, including Lyon, Bordeaux, Corsica, and Strasbourg, as well as other countries in Europe, such as the Netherlands, Italy, and Switzerland.
"It is estimated that there are at least a few hundred million ants in this entire nest, which is approximately 800 meters long," Luc Gomel, an ant specialist at Paul Valéry University, told local news outlet France 3.

These ants are an invasive species in France, and are spreading rapidly across the country."For usual ants, the number varies from a few hundred to only tens of thousands. Here, we are looking at much higher numbers," he said."These ants, they have such a teeming mass, such an overpopulation, that they supplant all other species of ants with which they may be in competition.
