Assuming you are asking about the lifespan of ants generally:
The average lifespan of an ant is about 45-60 days. However some species of ants can live up to 20 years! The oldest recorded age for an ant was 28 years.
The lifespan of an ant is heavily dependent on the species of ant. For example carpenter ants typically live around 7 years while fire ants only live about 6 months.
Factors that can affect an ant’s lifespan include: the ant’s diet whether or not the ant is a queen and the ant’s environment. For example if an ant is kept in an ant farm it is likely to have a much longer lifespan than an ant that is living in the wild.
In conclusion the lifespan of an ant can vary greatly depending on the species of ant and the environment in which it lives.
