It is interesting that the Jewish Scriptures, in the Proverbs of Solomon uses the "Ant", as a Parable of weak people:It's not so much that ants could communicate with other...I don't have a problem with that. All animals can communicate with each other.
“The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer;”Proverbs 30:25
Here is the interpretation of this verse, according to Christian Sources:

"The ants are a people not strong,....... the Arabians use it as a proverb, to call a weak man one weaker than an ant: and there is one sort of ants called "dsar", so small that one hundred of them will not weigh more than a barley corn (g): they are called a people, because they associate together in great numbers; though small in bulk, and weak as to power and strength; and which is a figure elsewhere used in the sacred Scriptures; see Joel 1:6; and by profane writers, as Homer and Virgil, who speak of bees as a people and nation (h); and of nations of flies, and of flying birds, geese, cranes, and swans (i);...."
Proverbs 30:25 Ants are creatures of little strength, yet they store up their food in the summer;
