An amazing video showing black ants mysteriously circling a ringing iPhone has gone viral on the internet attracting millions of views.

The video has already been watched more than 2 million times on YouTube sinceit was uploaded on 30 August, 2015. Many have dismissed the video as a hoax but many are astonished on how the ants mysteriously circle the iPhone that is ringing. The video, which goes on for 21 seconds, shows that ants are carrying on their work until the iPhone rings. The video also shows that as soon as the device vibrates, the ants scurry into a pattern and form concentric circles around the phone.

The video is uploaded by Viral Video Lab and the description with the video says that it was shot on a front porch with an Apple iPhone 4. A number of theories explaining the ants' behaviour have surfaced since the video went viral on the internet.
Some believe that the vibrating phone might have triggered a pheromone response in which the ants use chemical signals to leave a trail for other ants to find food source or to defend the colony during emergencies. Others suggest that electromagnetic radiation from the phone might affect the ants' behaviour.
