The Ants/Trivia

Trivia

 * Despite being Sniffles' nemeses, they have currently only appeared in 2 TV episodes, even though they appear in Sniffles' title card. Despite this, they have also only killed Sniffles once, and they did not kill or harm Sniffles in Blast from the Past. This marks the only time to date where Sniffles was able to harm an ant without being killed.
 * The Ants appear twice in each the first and second internet season, and the TV series, each. However, they are completely absent in Internet Season 3 and have yet to appear in Internet Season 4.
 * They seem to have a combination of anthropomorphic and non-anthropomorphic traits. They seem to be anthropomorphic like many characters in the show, but live in a anthill. In addition to that, Sniffles probably would not try to eat them if they were anthropomorphic.
 * Their fights in episodes are usually started by Sniffles. An exception would be in Suck It Up, in which they start the fight by stealing Sniffles' cookies.
 * Sniffles' failure to eat the ants is not unlike "The Ant and the Aardvark". The difference is that Sniffles is being murdered in the most gory way the Ants can think of.
 * In Crazy Ant-ics, there is a picture on the wall of an ant who could be the deceased father of the family.
 * Throughout the whole series, Sniffles has been the only character to encounter, interact with, or be killed by The Ants (not counting Mittens). Even though Giggles, Cro-Marmot, Lumpy and The Mole have been in some of these episodes with him, they do not do anything to help him or even seem to notice what is going on. This might be one reason why the war is ongoing, since nobody is helping Sniffles fight the ants.
 * Because of their cruelty towards Sniffles, they are arguably one of the most hated characters on the show. However there are some who sympathize with them, as they seem to be afraid of Sniffles and may be resorting to torture to get him off their back.
 * These ants have four limbs, unlike real ants which have six. The baby ant has only one antenna, or one hair, while the others have none.
 * They have not been seen in the series since Tongue in Cheek, which aired in 2006. This means they have not appeared in the series for a decade now.
 * The mother ant's hair is often compared to the appearance of Marge Simpson from "The Simpsons".
