If reincarnation is real, you're going to spend a few lifetimes coming back as ants before you have the luck to come back as a mosquito.

What the ants are actually surviving on is most intriguing. Does anyone have an idea what it might be or what might grow on bat guano inside the bunker?

It could be a fungus or mold, since they aren't cannibals.

Bizarre ant colony discovered in an abandoned Polish nuclear weapons bunker | Ars Technica

'For the past several years, a group of researchers has been observing a seemingly impossible wood ant colony living in an abandoned nuclear weapons bunker in Templewo, Poland, near the German border. '

'The sheer numbers of dead bodies suggest that this orphaned wood ant nest has been active for many years. '

'Eventually a massive colony of wood ants took up residence in the soil over the bunker. '

'The survivors have nevertheless carried on for years underground, building a nest from soil and maintaining it in typical wood ant fashion. '

'Life in an abandoned nuclear weapons bunker is nightmarish, even for the humble ant. '
