20 quadrillion ants is about 2.5 million ants per human - pretty insane to think about. I thought I had a grasp on their abundance, but I'd still probably have underestimated their numbers by an order of magnitude previously.

We still mog them on mass and volume though. 2.5 million of the average ant would only make the size of a human leg, if that.
