I had to convert. That equals an inch and a half. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen ants scurrying around that fast. May depend on which type of ants. Alternatively

Alternatively - could an ant run a meter in 25 seconds? Seems reasonable.
A quick Google search shows some can go upwards of 800mm/sec but they’re outliers. https://www.sciencealert.com/world-s-fastest-ants-clock-855-millimetres-per-second https://www.sciencealert.com/world-s-fastest-ants-clock-855-...
Btw - I appreciate that you took the time to check the numbers yourself. Very few people do the math on their own first.
