Ants breathe through pores in their exoskeleton. However, they do not drown due to an oil on their skin and the surface tension of the water. If you put an ant under water it would carry a bubble down with it. Therefore, no it is not hard for an ant to breathe when it rains.

How do worms breathe underwater?
worms can live for weeks in water. They do not leave the ground because they will drown when it rains, they surface because it is moist. Worms breath through skin, but it needs to be moist and cool or their skin will dry out. They surface when it rains because its safer for them to travel above ground at tht time.
