An ant is not an aquatic insect, so if it was underwater it would most likely drown. But ants are designed to survive flooding, so if it is suspended on the water it would have a good chance at surviving.

Ants are designed to survive floods and very soggy environments, but

it doesn't mean they are aquatic insects. They breathe through spiracles in

their abdomen. They close off the spiracals to keep the water out and can

remain in water for a while.
