Relevant to this, on Netflix: Life on our Planet. Highly recommended. Have watched it 3 times with my son now.
Haha, you know what. This must be where I saw it because I went ~6 months back in my YouTube history and CTRL+F'd for ants and saw nothing except a documentary about fire ants which didn't cover this topic.
What a horrible assumption I made thinking I saw this about a year ago, I got tricked into thinking it must have been a long time ago since my YouTube history was coming up empty. I did watch life on our planet shortly after it was available. This is one of the pitfalls of watching lots of media on different platforms, it all blends together. I watch a lot of documentaries on both platforms.
Check "Life on our planet" on Netflix. It's about dinosaurs but also has plenty of bits around evolution. In one episode they talk about ants vs termites and also focus on that particular bit (limbs getting damaged or ripped off)

Also, visually very impressive documentary
Much of what passes for human industry is essentially just strip mining the planet of its natural resources. I’d recommend watching Sir David Attenborough’s A Life On Our Planet for a sobering view of the ecological footprint of non-Bitcoin human economic activity, which presumably you invest in one way or the other. Moving to a global deflationary economic system per Bitcoin would at least disincentivize the rampant consumerism destroying this planet via disincentivizing capital investment and spending.
I highly recommend David Attenborough's 2020 Netflix documentary "A Life on Our Planet."

It is his "witness statement" on how he has personally observed enormous environmental damage over his ~70 year career documenting wildlife throughout the world.
He argues that the solution is to reduce our population growth worldwide.
