Although the information available to me is incomplete, several sources state that the workers of this variety of ant can live up to seven years while the queen may live to between 15 and 25 years of age.

We have one living in our lab which is already several months old (Herculeas) but their lifespan apparently varies based on living conditions and societal pressures.

Hope that helps
