Who would win in a war between ants and humans?
Strength. Calculated up, people definitely outweigh ants, at least in modern times. If we were to have had this competition just 100 years ago, they would have stood supreme. When it comes to strength, all ants together could lift 22 trillion pounds, plenty to pick up the whole of humanity and carry them on their backs …
What would happen if we killed all the mosquitoes?
This produces nutrients that are important for the plants. Without mosquitoes, plant growth could be affected. Wiping out mosquitoes would also wipe out a group of pollinators.

Do ants war?
Large ant colonies with tens or hundreds of thousands of members engage in all-out war with other colonies as they compete for resources. When considering the often-striking similarities between humans and social insects, one fascinating parallel is the existence of warfare in both.
How many ants would it take to lift a human?
A person on average weighs around 195 pounds according to google or 88,450 grams, dividing that by the weight the average ant can withstand, we get 17,690-3538 ants. Once again according to google, the average colony has around 4,000 ants. So it would take 1-4.5 colonies to carry a human.

Would insects kill us if we didn’t serve the ecosystem?
Not a good strategic move by us either, but the choice is stand idly by and get suffocated by a million crawly feet, or destroy the ecology and possibly survive. The insects would kill us by not servicing the food chain… correction… by not servicing our food chain.
