Ants are very small creatures and they rely heavily on visual cues to communicate with each other. Unfortunately this means that they sometimes run into each other.
There are a few reasons why ants might run into each other. One possibility is that they are simply not paying attention to where they are going. Another possibility is that they are following a chemical trail left by another ant and they don’t see the other ant until it’s too late.
Whatever the reason ants running into each other is a fairly common occurrence. It’s not usually a cause for concern and the ants will usually be fine. However if it happens frequently it could be a sign that something is wrong with the ant colony.
