When you see lots of ants suddenly appearing on a sidewalk, it’s usually because:
Food source nearby: Ants follow scent trails to food. If someone dropped crumbs, spilled something sugary, or there’s trash nearby, ants swarm to collect it.
Nest disturbance: If their nest or colony gets disturbed (by rain, construction, or predators), they may flood out temporarily.
Foraging activity: Ants send out worker ants to find food. Sometimes, many ants emerge at once along established trails.
Weather changes: Warm, humid days or after rain, ants become more active and visible.
So, those ants are just busy following chemical trails and searching for food or responding to environmental changes.
