Some fun ant facts that I learned from joining the ant farm club:
All ants in a colony are FEMALE, including the soldier ants. Males are only born when the Queen has a need to mate. In some ant species the female mates ONCE and holds a lifetime, sometimes twenty years worth of sperm in a specialized chamber called the crop so she can fertilize her own eggs.
Ants number at least ten quadrillion ants at any given moment on this planet. If you took all the ants in existence and all the humans and put them on a scale the ants would outweigh humans greatly. This is further eye opening in that it takes 500,000 ants to make one person.
