They are distributed all over the world, with the exception of Antarctica and some remote islands, making up 10-25% of the terrestrial biomass of terrestrial animals [3]. The total number of all ants on Earth is approximately 20 quadrillion individuals [4]. The success of ants in many habitats is due to their social organization and ability to change their habitat and use various resources.

They feed mainly on plant juice, aphids and other sucking insects, during the larval feeding period - mainly on insects. There are also species that feed on seeds (reaper ants) and cultivated mushrooms (leaf cutter ants).
Ants live in families in nests[2], called anthills, which are built in soil, wood, and under stones; some build anthills from small plant particles, etc. There are parasitic species that live in the nests of other ants, "slave owner" ants that contain "slaves" - ants of other species - in their nests. A number of species have adapted to living in human dwellings. Some species are valued for controlling the number of insect pests, others may be considered pests.
