How long would it take for cooperating insects to transport a grape-sized rock from Finland to South Africa, in an efficient way?

The rock is spherical. All arthropods are included. They have no time limit and are "programmed" to cooperate, but lack intelligence. While there is no time limit, the insects do this transportation in the most efficient way possible. (Assume the most efficient method you can think of.) While this question is about Finland -> South Africa specifically, this rock-transportation happens all the time from all across the world and has been happening for thousands of years, so all insects on the planet are not available to transport this one rock.

(This is a detail irrelevant to the specific question, but the rocks vary in size and are picked up from the brains of every animal that dies, and the rocks' journey to South Africa is SORT OF the insects bringing them to the afterlife.)
