The Saharan silver ants are the fastest ants in the world, they can go up to 100 bps (human sized thatâs over 330 mph!) So ants are pretty fast. But here is a much faster little critter; the Paratarsotomus macropalpis (a small mite) can run a whopping 322 bps. As a human if we could run that it would be 1,300 mph!! Be glad we are big and they are not!
Ants on a Stick. One hundred ants are dropped on a meter stick. Each ant is traveling either to the left or the right with constant speed 1 meter per minute. When two ants meet, they bounce off each other and reverse direction. When an ant reaches an end of the stick, it falls off. At some point all the ants will have fallen off.
