Anyone else have to read this story in High School? It was one of my favorites along with "The Most Dangerous Game" about a guy who hunts humans on his private island. Anyway, I mention "Leningen" because the movie adaptation was recently on AMC. I forget the name..."The Naked Jungle" or something like that, starring Charlton Heston as the South American plantation owner who confronts a swarm of soldier ants. A great sci-fi B-Movie in my opinion, similar to Indiana Jones. Highly recommended! It inspired a copycat MacGyver episode years later.
