The bottom-up organizational methods that antlion larvae use can be
generalized to other fields and possibly duplicated in artificial
structures where components have low computational power.
Nanomachines would require low-intelligence algorithms, as their
hardware cannot harness the energy required for complex computers, and
these algorithms can be designed to mimic the response-observation loop
of antlions.
The distribution behavior of antlions also compares to other organisms,
which will illuminate genealogical study.
