'''Ants''' (アリ, ''Ari''), in the {{SER}}, can be found at all times of day, throughout the entire year. They swarm over discarded [[turnip]]s and [[candy]], but not [[fruit]], and can be easily caught. Despite there being a large group of Ants present on discarded food, only one can be caught at a time. Once one has been caught, the other Ants disappear. Ants sell for 80 [[Bells]]. Ants cannot be caught when the Beautiful Town Ordinance is active.

The '''ant''' is a [[bug]] in the {{SER}} introduced in {{PG}}. Ants will swarm over [[candy]], lollipops, and spoiled [[turnip]]s, regardless of the season or time of day. Despite there being a large group of ants present on discarded food, only one can be caught at a time; once one has been caught, the other ants disappear. In {{NH|short}}, the ants can be seen marching single-file from the food item back to a tiny ant hill, which also disappears when an ant is caught. Ants sell for 80 [[Bell]]s.

Ants, from the family ''Formicidae'', are [[insect]]s that have existed for at least 110 million years. They are widespread throughout the world and are easily identified by their long antennae, large abdomen, and sectioned bodies. There are thought to be at least ten thousand species of ants world-wide.

The ant is a bug in the Animal Crossing series introduced in Animal Crossing. Ants will swarm over candy, lollipops, and spoiled turnips, regardless of the season or time of day. Despite there being a large group of ants present on discarded food, only one can be caught at a time; once one has been caught, the other ants disappear. In New Horizons, the ants can be seen marching single-file from the food item back to a tiny ant hill, which also disappears when an ant is caught. Ants sell for 80 Bells.

Donating to the museum[edit]

In Animal Crossing[edit]

When the player is donating it to the museum, Blathers will say the following:

"I wonder, how do you think that ants manage to search out their food? Because the question really confounds me! I mean, really. Come now. If ants were our size, the area they traverse in their search for sustenance... ...would FAR exceed the entire size of our fair village. Can you imagine it, wot? Hiking that far for a snack? What is going on in their tiny little ant-minds, hm? Do they have some specific target in mind? Could it be they're just wandering about aimlessly? Hoo-rrrumph! Ridiculous and revolting! Hooo... But I digress..."

In Wild World[edit]

Upon donating to the museum in Wild World, Blathers the curator will say:

"Tell me, did you know that ants leave scent everywhere they trundle about? Indeed, they do this in order to make sure they can get back to their nest. But from just WHERE on the ant does this stench come? Blech. I'd rather not know..."

Once donated in Wild World, a trail of ants can be found marching amongst the trees in the second room of the insect exhibit.

In City Folk[edit]

Upon donating to the museum in City Folk, Blathers the curator will say:

"Most people seem to regard ants as peaceful creatures, but the truth is that they're quite savage insects, wot? Indeed, when I was but a fledgling, I once sat on an ant nest by accident. The wretched things set upon me within moments. My poor tail feathers took forever to grow back. "

In City Folk, ants form a trail along the path on the central terrace of the insect exhibit. The Ants emerge from a hole in the wall and swarm over a pile of sugar that lies on the path some distance away.

In New Leaf[edit]

Upon donating to the museum in New Leaf, Blathers will say:

"Ants are small but very powerful and are able to carry items far heavier than they are. In the nest, there is a queen and also worker ants, making them somewhat similar to bees. In some habitats, ants actually make up between 15-20% of the areas total terrestrial-animal biomass."

In New Horizons[edit]

When asked about the bug, Blathers will say the following:

"I warn you, the ant may be a small bug, but it finds scary strength in numbers. You see, the ant itself is the strongest creature in the world in relation to its size. One of these diminutive fiends can carry 50 times its own bodyweight! And if it wants to lift something even larger... Why, it simply calls on its ant friends to join the effort. Creepy cooperation, I say..."

Once donated, the ant can be seen in the bug farms exhibit, alongside the long locust and mole cricket, and can also be seen in a trail going into the lab exhibit.
