Flying ants are interested in mating, not attacking school buses. OTOH they might give small aircraft a hard time if they were just the right, or rather wrong, color and/or odor... The behavior of the ants in the original movie was really rather unrealistic. Somewhat more realistic would be giant ants say finding a sugar mill or in a less rural setting, a grocery warehouse, and systematically raiding it. You know how ants form a path between the nest and a food source. Just think about such a line of several thousand ants the size of small cars, walking over whatever path the forager that found the source happened to take; across streets, over peoples' houses, and so on. That's common black ants. So-called pavement ants would be a different problem not because they're more vicious, which they are, but because they're slavers; they take pupae from other ant nests and feed them until they grow legs, then put them to work gathering food and raising their young. Imagine giant ants stealing human children and trying to teach them to feed their pupae. Then there are army ants. You know, the guys that eat literally everything edible in their path. Brrr. Mark L.
