Question: how deep are ants nests?
Answer: Pogonomyrmex badius, or the Florida harvester ant, might build a nest of up to 3 meters deep each year, while Florida's largest ant species, Camponotus socius, tunnels only 60 centimeters into the soil. Japan's Messor aciculatus holds the record for deepest nests, which can extend 4 meters down into the earth.
