wait wtf these ants live 7+ years? thats crazy theyre so little


I think he means it takes about 7 years for a colony to grow/mature to the point it starts producing breeding ants (males and new queens). During that time there's going to be multiple generations of worker ants who live and die to get it to that point (so if there's a nest in your house producing winged/breeding ants, there's probably a lot of damage done already)

A queen who mates and starts a successful colony can live quite a lot longer (like 20-30 years)
