A cool video has emerged of a woman lighting an ant model made out of 12,000 matches.

The footage, shot in Cape Town earlier this month, captured the impressive fire chain reaction when youtuber "PyroGirl" lit up the rear end of the ant to "kill" it.

A GIANT FIRE ANT made of 12 000 matches... and how to kill it! If you ever come across one of these beasts in your back yard and you're feeling brave; slowly creep up to it... say a prayer, and light it's rear end. You'll have to be quick because they have a bad temper and flare up at the smallest provocation. In this video PyroGirl shows how it's done... and lives to brag about it on YouTube.

Corny intro aside... I was inspired to make this video when I watched some of the videos by the channel HTC that went viral and wanted to take the enormously popular "match chain reaction" to the next level. This is my first 3D match creation and I believe it's the first of it's kind on YouTube. All the "match chain reaction" or "fire domino" videos I've come across so far are simple geometric shapes, pictures or symbols. With my channel, I strive to be creative and make new and unique designs which I'm glad to see people are enjoying and responding to. I'm having a lot of fun with this and hope others will continue to enjoy what I do. PyroGirl
