Here's the basis.
An estimate made by an earlier ecologist that there are 10 to the power of 18 insects of all kinds.
I'll add the guess that one hundredth of them, hence 10,000 trillion, are ants.
Each human weighs roughly one million times as much as each ant on average.
And there are 7.2 billion humans alive.
Hence, maybe, all the people and all the ants weigh the same.
