This study also puts a conservative estimate of the ants at about 20 × 10 15 (20 quadrillion). [31] [32] [33] Ants range in size from 0.75 to 52 millimetres (0.030–2.0 in), [34] [35] the largest species being the fossil Titanomyrma giganteum, the queen of which was 6 cm (2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long with a wingspan of 15 cm (6 in).

Ants (family Formicidae in the order Hymenoptera) are the most species-rich of all social insects, with more than 12,000 described species and many others awaiting description. [1] Formicidae is divided into 21 subfamilies , of which 17 are extant and four subfamilies are extinct , described from fossils .
Ponerinae, the ponerine ants, [2] is a subfamily of ants in the Poneromorph subfamilies group, with about 1,600 species in 47 extant genera, including Dinoponera gigantea - one of the world's largest species of ant. Mated workers have replaced the queen as the functional egg-layers in several species of ponerine ants.

Carpenter ants are generally large ants: workers are 4–7 mm long in small species and 7–13 mm in large species, queens are 9–20 mm long and males are 5–13 mm long. The bases of the antennae are separated from the clypeal border by a distance of at least the antennal scape's maximum diameter.
