Several times their own body weight. This is dependent on the species of Ant itself. A single fire ant has been seen transporting insects such as grasshoppers wasps and Spiders. This ability is used to bring food into the nest as well as carry Infant lavae from nest to nest , or remove debris from a nest that may have been damaged or blocked. This ability is also used as a defense mechanism in some species as their maniciples are capable of crushing predator insects, even deliver a painful bite to larger predators such as humans or wildlife.

Are ants the strongest animals?

Ants are the strongest animals (if you consider them to be animals) because they can lift up 20 to 50 times their weight. If a 200 pound human could do the same, he/she would be able to lift up 2000 to 10,000 pounds. Now, an ant wouldn't necessarily win a battle against another animal, but we're talking about its relative size.
