It's a group of caterpillars, moving in a formation known as a rolling swarm. This rolling swarm of caterpillars moves faster than any single caterpillar😬

Me searching the comments for the right answer

Why does NASA spend all that money looking for aliens in space when we have aliens on our home planet?

It's fungus gnat larvae. Backstory: the larvae empire lost the war with an ant army and lost all their food, So many larvae ended up leaving to form a United new nation.

I don't have any idea

Those are fungus gnat larvae and it’s believed that they travel in snake like chains to help deter predators.

Rolling swarms of caterpillars, also known as "caterpillar trains" or "processions," occur when large groups of caterpillars travel together in a line, often following one another in a continuous loop. This behavior is typically observed in species like the pine processionary moth caterpillars or tent caterpillars. They engage in this behavior for various reasons, including finding food, seeking shelter, or migrating to new locations. The sight of these caterpillar trains moving in unison can be both fascinating and mesmerizing to witness.

I’m not sure, but when it’s done, this is the result
