Some good answers here, just to add, ants don’t have lungs. They have small holes called spiracles that they can close when thrown into water. Ants have a very slow metabolic rate compared to us so they can hold their breath for the better part of a day. If the ants just wanted to sit in wet dirt and wait the rain out they probably could.
