The typical red or black ant weighs about three to five milligrams (0.003 to 0.005 grams) on average. Ants are so tiny that you can't even feel when they're on you until they touch your skin or bite.
A typical shooting guard or small forward in the NBA weighs about 100 kilograms and is maybe 2 meters tall. A worker ant in my office looks to be about 2 mm long.
So, it is about 1/1000 as long as a human. Volume is distance cubed, so an ant's volume would be 1/(1000*1000*1000) compared to ours, assuming that the aspect ratios are roughly similar. Now, take 100 kilograms (10^5 grams) and divide by 10^9, and we get 10^-4 grams, or 0.1 milligrams.
Given that ants are robustly composed relative to most adult human males, they may weigh a bit more. On the other hand, an ant that is 1 mm long may weigh a bit less (0.0125 mg, by pure scaling) so 0.1 milligrams is possible. The queens probably weigh much more.

An ant has a dorsal aorta that acts as a heart how many beats per minute does it beat?
because a mouse have an average heart rate of 500 beats per minute (bpm), the smaller the animal (or insect) the faster the heart rate so multiply the ant's weight by 107 from the mouse's weight (based on dorman's theory equation on heart rates for animals) the average heart rate would equal to an average between 750-1000 bpm.
