Ants are all insects belonging to the Formicidae tribe, the Hymenoptera nation. Ants have more than 12,500 species (species), most of which live in the tropics. Most ants are known as social insects, with their regular colonies and nests consisting of thousands of ants per colony. Colony members are divided into worker ants, male ants, and queen ants. It is also possible that there are groups of guard ants. One colony can control a large area to support their life. Ant colonies are sometimes called "superorganisms" because their colonies form a single unit.
Despite their relatively small body size, ants are among the strongest animals in the world. Male ants are able to support loads weighing fifty times their own body weight, compared to elephants which can only support two times their own weight. Ants are only rivaled by rhinoceros beetles which can support loads weighing 850 times their own body weight.

Formic acid is also called "ant acid" because ants produce this acid as a means of self-defense.
