The ants are using the heat that's gathered from the sun hitting the rocks to speed up brood development. When the rock is moved they become alarmed and scurry out of harms way. But yes, ants keep each others numbers in check far more than any other organism. The invasive fire ants in the south have almost entirely decimated local species. The fire ants obviously are returning to their rightful homeland. It's not like the native local species had an actual legal claim to that territory or anything. Just a bunch of poor farmers at best. Do ants have a world governing body whose edicts are ignored as well? Yea.

..by the millions?? Are you sure? According to Bert Hölldobler and Edward O. Wilson who are two of the top experts in myrmecology (study of ants), there are approximately 10,000,000,000,000,000 ants at any given moment. There are no truces or negotiations between colonies. Ants will even raid other colonies, murder everyone and take the unborn. Later putting them to work for the good of their colony.
