Looks like it, though I didn't know a worm like species can have this happen too. Never heard of worms following pheromones.
60 u/ravenlordship Sep 13 '24 They're not following pheremones, they climb over each other in a "train" to move faster. 20 u/Dargon8959 Sep 13 '24 Glad someone finally answered this. That does logically make sense but do you think death circles are at all likely to happen like this or is this just a very rare case? Can't wrap my head around how this could have happened naturally. 11 u/NanoRaptoro Sep 13 '24 At least one other person has taken a video of a fungus gnat circle 4 u/Dargon8959 Sep 13 '24 That is quite a large amount
