I really want to figure out how to have ants form bridges/towers to navigate gaps. It's on the roadmap for long-term goals, but there's a lot more to go in the short-term :) Above ground view where the ants leave the nest and collect food using pheromone trails is the next major feature coming up!
If you want to talk shop about ants, or help me tinker with code, discord link is in my profile :)
My favorite ant behavior is that many tree-dwelling species will actively glide back towards the trunk if they're dislodged so they're less likely to depart the tree entirely. There's a few papers on the topic, this article has some videos :) https://insider.si.edu/2011/06/lofty-experiments-with-glidin...
I didn't see it when I searched, so apologies if I overlooked it.

Totally off topic, but your domain reminded me of: https://antville.org JS on the server-side (On JVM since the late 90's)
