Suppose there are 100,000,000,000,000,000 ants alive now.
The lifespan of an ant is say 4 weeks. So that times 12 months is 12 with 15 zeros times 20 billion years is 12 with 35 zero.
That's the best I've got.

The Earth is only 4.6 billion years old. Plus, scientists estimate that ants are only about 92 million years-old.
