Take a good look at this magnified photo of an ant.
Ants are almost literally everywhere. They have been here for at least 100 million years and I suspect they will be here long after we frail humans are gone.
A recent study estimated there are probably 20 quadrillion ants. That’s 2.5 million ants for every person on the planet. The combined weight of all those ants is more than the combined weight of every bird and wild mammal on earth.
Don’t worry about accidentally stepping on one. There are plenty more where that one came from.
