Comment on Ant smell

Which ants? All ants?
I can smell the tiny black ants more than any other but I can smell all of them. I didn’t know this was a genetic trait until now.
I’ve never smelled ants, but like maybe ants in Sweden don’t smell? It’s why I wanted to know which kinds.
I’ve never tried smelling isolated ants but the anthills in the forest just smell like forest to me. Also Swedish so my forests smell like pine and soil.
From how far away?
