Always called it "Ant races"
I've come to refer to it as static/snow but I specifically remember hearing it called ants/ant races as a child some 40 years ago. The husband of the elderly couple that took care of us base kids would insist he had a favorite and could tell if it was winning.
I get some strange comfort that it is called that by others and wasn't some abstraction of my memory
Me too! It was about 30 years ago for me.
