Did you know there are a million ants for every person on Earth

The current estimates are even higher than a million! Recent research suggests there are actually:

20 quadrillion ants on Earth, according to a 2022 study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
This translates to roughly 2.5 million ants for every person.

That's a staggering number, highlighting the sheer abundance of these fascinating creatures. It's important to note that this is a conservative estimate, and the actual number could be even higher. The study acknowledges potential limitations in data from certain regions and difficulty in calculating subterranean ant populations.

So, while a million ants per person is a good ballpark figure, the current scientific consensus leans towards an even more mind-boggling number!
