Ants are extremely common social insects that work in a colony to support their queen. Part of the family Formicidae, there are thousands of different species across the world. They can be found on every continent except Antarctica.
They are most prevalent in tropical climates with recent discoveries of super colonies spanning thousands of square miles. Some super colonies have connected to form a global mega colony rivaled only by human society as the most populous animal society ever recorded.
