Yes Mr genius, we lesser mortals know what ants are. Not all ants have them, the formosa sub species of red ants use HCOOH as a defense mechanism.
HCOOH is formic acid.

I do not think honey ants have formic acid in their bodies, I could be wrong, however I do believe that most other ants certainly do contain formic acid.

Yes, ants have formic acid in their body. Ants attack and defend themselves by biting and in many species, stinging, often injecting chemicals like formic acid...
