(In a terrible David Attenborough impression)
Under the shade of the Apuzzon Rainforest canopy 🌳 a similarly shady colony of critters roam about... These two-cell large ants have found themselves lost from the familiar grid of their army ants puzzle, and have begun to form an Ant Mill 🐜🌀 This phenomenon occurs when the pheromone track is lost, and each ant begins to follow one another instead, slowly forming a circular path. It is commonly known as a "death spiral", as these poor creatures will continuously walk in circles until dying from exhaustion ☠️ ...Not all that bright, are they? But I'm sure this puzzle will be a walk in the park (err- ...forest) for our solvers!

Rules: Shade some dominoes of cells. No two dominoes may touch orthogonally, but each domino must touch exactly two others by the corners such that all dominoes form a single loop. Cells separated by a square must both be shaded or both be unshaded. Cells separated by an X must not.
