Ra1th, the "ROAR" is call to arms and a dinner bell in my mind. Now, when they all get in one area they're able to automatically or instinctively "share" their intelligence...
Nik,
your empirical data aka hard evidence may probably be found in the episode where Datu was "Captured." Remember, they didn't jump on him when he fell through the trap. They had "ROLES" by being there and waiting. Orders to follow by not eating him and putting him in the room. What I do know about watching Ants is that they will take stuff back instead of consuming it right where they find it. Why? Teeth may be able to answer that
Also, does anyone think it was pure chance that the power plant- where Mike was injured- was infested by a behemoth?
Seems like strategy to me.
I'm not suggesting the "Hive Mind" is an actual intelligence, but more instinctive. The more you have in one area, the smarter they tend to be, the more organized they act. Not, "Hey used to be named Bob, you got left and used to be named Nicole..you got right."
Episode 18 had a "Wave" of creatures heading towards Mike and crew right? Clearly that shows they're working in concert for a purpose. They weren't chasing anything or anyone and it most def didn't seem random. It felt as it was probably a fairly common tactic in that area.
Send out the workers to find food and when you do, report...er ROAR!
