Ants are beneficial insects in most cases and play an important role in environmental cleaning, traditional Chinese medicine and so on. Some species are pests, such as termites, marching ants and so on. As we all know, "a thousand-mile dike collapses in an ant's nest" mainly refers to termites, which can also destroy trees and wood products.

Ants are the most common insects on earth and have the largest number of insect species. Because all kinds of ants are groups of social life, they are commonly known as "ants" in ancient times. According to the classification of modern morphological science, ants can be divided into two groups: ants and termites. Some are pests to human beings, while some ants are harmless, and can even do scientific experiments! Some can also be used as medicinal materials!

The harm of ants can be summarized as disturbing the human body, spreading germs, polluting the environment and damaging buildings. It is mainly shown in two aspects: one is the direct economic loss caused by food damage and pollution, and the other is the indirect loss caused by the spread of many diseases and harm to human health.

The small black ants we often see outdoors are also a more important link in our biological chain, such as food waste, debris, dead insect corpses, and so on. Without further digestion by insects such as ants, the environment in which we live will soon become rotten.
