So how many ants are there exactly in this ant farm?

10 if you count the guy with the hat also an ant. Than there will be 11 ants :)

It depends upon the species of ant. Some seek out sweets. Others seek out fats (like cheese). Still others swap between sources depending on what's available.

The genus Atta is the pinnacle of Attine evolution, with 15 species representing the premier leaf-cutting ants. The huge queens, well over an inchlong, are efficient egg-laying machines, giving rise to worker populations as large as several million individuals. The workers are strongly polymorphic, varying in length from about 1/16 to 5/8 inches, and correspondingly, a several hundred-fold increase in body weight! \n\nThis is what I could find on the Atta...Here is the website on the total Leafcutter Ants issus...well one website anyways. (The first site listed is what I found this info under)

There is a great diversity among ants and their behaviors. They range in size from 2 to about 25 millimetres (about 0.08 to 1 inch). Their color may vary; most are red or black, but other colors can also be seen, including some tropical groups with a metallic lustre.\n\nAnts have colonized almost every landmass on Earth. They can constitute up to 15% of the total animal biomass of a tropical rainforest; in the Amazon the combined weight of the ants is said to be four times larger than that of the tetrapods in the same area. It has also been estimated that the combined weight of all ants exceeds the weight of mankind

thousands!  so many, scientists haven't even found and classified them all!\n\nthere are also industrial plants and power plants, but you don't want these in your backyard :)

Just imagine an ant crawling on a globe. Heck, you don't have to imagine, catch an ant and put it on a globe and watch it. There is no "end" but the surface area is not infinite.

A whole lot of bees together?\n\nThat's a "SWARM."

There are hundreds if not thousands of insects per each human so if you count them, fish, etc.  You have thousands to one.  If you want to count bacteria as animals then it is billions to one.

We are all just little ants in his f*cked up little ant farm...god doesn't give a sh*t about you...\n666

There are definitely some ants here in the UK, although obviously not in the numbers found elsewhere. I think it's a climate thing. I remember seeing many ants on a recent trip to the canary islands, which although pretty western, has a far warmer meant temperature than britain.

It's probably a lot, but the question is hard to answer, it's just like ask how many ants are in the African Continent..☺

Ants are neat, and while that other guy was right about 'intelligence' not being a concrete concept, ants certainly can solve very complex problems.  The definitely don't wander around aimlessly and randomly like someone else suggested.  They have  incredible cognitive abilities for navigating from food sources back to their nests.  One of these is known as path integration, ants are able to keep in their memory all the different twists and turns in their path to find food so that when they do find food they can head in a straight line back to their nest.  They are also able to learn the location of different objects in their environment and use these to find their way home if they get off course, like if they get blown away by the wind or something!  When you consider that an ant's brain is smaller than the head of a pin, the amount of information they are able to hold in there and remember and manipulate, is pretty astonishing.  Using electron microscopes and neuroscience techniques, scientists have identified tiny clusters of neurons on the brains of some ants, called mushroom bodies.  They think that these structures are the sites of memory and navigational cognition in the ants. You might also find it cool to know that the navigational systems of ants have formed the basis of the navigational systems developed using artificial intelligence for robots.  And as for the division of labor, I think you are spot on.  Ants (and other eusocial insects) provide the natural world's best examples of self-organising systems and they are way cool and very neat!!!  Science nerds rock-on!
