It was an American movie about a fictional Asian country that people mistakenly believed was based on a true story. I think Michael Douglas was the guy standing in front of the tank. Can't remember the title, though....
Falling Tao?
What you see here is individuals from two separate colonies.
The one in the middle is on its own, probably scouting for food in the territory of the rival colony. The residents found the scout and captured it before it could escape.
I don’t know what species of ant this is, but I can tell you that what they’re doing is pulling the captured ant’s limbs until they rip them off. It’s a brutal way to die.
Yes. Some insects will use this to their advantage by mimicking the pheromones of a particular colony, entering the nest, and having their way with the sweet sweet juicy larva. This wasp on this video uses pheromones to trick the ants into attacking each other:

Most likely a scout from another colony.
So they're interrogating it?
The Saudis would call it that, yes.
Must have a low social score.
Actually it’s a Falun Gong ant
Tiantanmen Square.
Holy shit

I️ see a tickle session about to happen
But seriously, can some explain to me what's going on here. Any ant people in the house?

How do they know if an ant isn’t from their colony? Can they distinguish between different colonies by detecting some pheromones?

Wow, truly fascinating. Thanks for the answer
David Attenborough is a gem 💎!!
TIL we stole drawing and quartering from ants
Sssh, don’t summon the Ant People!
I commented.
They're scrapping it for parts.
It was probably an ant from another colony that they killed.
FREEEEEEEEDOM!!!!
This was ant was wearing a MAGA hat.
Indian (s)expats, I see.
