My feelings on this is.... minecraft could introduce giant ants to coincide with these giant caves think bigger and stronger than spiders with axes on there face
Basically, this is just "giant ants could be added because awesome". If you're gonna present a mob idea, then actually explain it better. Telling us the mob's name and then just declaring your own idea as "awesome" is not how you do it.

Sorry I was pretty tired and my brain was joining dots with what they have done with current mobs and new environments. In real world the large caves are a natural environment for ants. the new mobs are natural predators to ants when they are young (seen few wild life docs on it) and when they become adults they focus on fish and other larger food sources. The direction of environment and current mobs could see new hostile or passive hostile mobs in the form of ants implemented to the game esp if based on the spider mechanical movements combine this with a precession of mobs at certain times of day it could become crazy mob hoards esp if an ant is accidentally killed and the troops retaliate in mass numbers like army ants
Points for making the effort to add to your idea, though you should put that in your first post. I can't say I'd mind if the idea was added, but I - and this is just out of pure opinion - find having large ants in the game as not the most original idea in the world. I'd suggest adding more to the detail of the idea such as damage values, the names of any ant variant, etc. so everyone has the exact same vision to your idea as you.

After careful rethinking ive come up with a few options regarding ants. 4 types of ants scavenging ants which seek out food items in chest when placed underground they can take the items from the chest or can carry the full chest (as the chest is carried they drop non edible items such as stone blocks wood etc as they travel this would help lead back to the spawn point where the nesting queen ant resides; the nesting queen ant is a stationary boss ant locked into her nest she is high health leveled and high powered and to top it off shes also very angry when interrupted at her nest her defence is to rapidly produced baby ants (low health low damage rate but mighty in large numbers similar to a slimes or magma cubes) the bite from a nesting queen is 2/3rds of the damage from a strike from a diamond sword. The main attack is when she produces a soldier ant (1 in 30 chance) the soldier ant has the same power as the queen but has better movement capability like a spider but unable to produce baby ants. the last of the ant type is the looting ant these take time to grow so are made from grubs these are stage one of the looting ants from grubs(1) to baby ants(2) to adult ants (3); looting ants are similar to scavenging ants but the looting ants aim for jewels to give to their queen (diamonds, emeralds, redstone, gold, iron, and tools made from these materials) both scavenging ants and looting ants have similar power to a zombie in damage and similar health levels to a zombie. Looting ants and scavenging ants only come out of the burrows when hostile at night and are passive during the day. Colours of these mobs vary depending on role scavengers are brown or black looters are white or grey, queens are red or purple grubs are yellow in colour baby ants are similar to adults just smaller in size approximately half size of adult
