Ants in general don't have a scientific name, each species of ant has scientific names. for example:

- Jerdon's jumping ant (species of ant found in India)

sci name: Harpegnathos saltator

- Weaver ant (found in Australia & Asia)

sci name: Oecophylla smaragdina

Get my point? Hope I helped anyway
