How old can an ant live to be?

Answer 1

Harvester ants live 2-6 months, but fire ants live about 3.

The lifespan of an ant varies between the species, from 45-60 days, with some types living to 90 days.
It depends on the species. According to UMI's handbook, a worker ant can live one to two years from birth.

Many ant workers live less than a year as adults. Pharaoh ant (Monomorium pharaonis) and ghost ant (Tapinoma melanocephalum) live only a few weeks. Queens of these species live less than a full year. Colonies of these two types are almost constantly producing new broods of queens, males, and workers to keep up with the mortality. By contrast, workers of many mound ants (Formica rufa and relatives) and cornfield ants (Lasius niger and relatives) live 1-3 or more years and their queens may live over ten years. These types produce queens and males only once a season. The record appears to be a queen cornfield ant caught just after mating, which went on to live 22 years in a lab colony, producing fertile eggs until the last few months of her life. --Dr. Ant

[Ref : http://ants.pbworks.com/How%20long%20do%20ants%20generally%20live]
The queens can live for up to 30 years, and workers live from 1 to 3 years. Males, however, are more transitory, and survive only a few weeks.

some only live like a month if they get killed or diseased.
ants live from 20 mins to twenty years.

Some flying Ants live for 3 days.
According to the information available from ant farms, the life span of a worker ant is about 90 days.

Otherwise, some genus of ant have different lifespans. The queen usually lives the longest.
