Flik and Dot, in "A Bug's Life" (4)

I believe the answer is:

ants

(Other definitions for ants that I've seen before include "Industrious insects" , "They live in a formicary" , "Tiny insects that live in colonies" , "Busy little insects" , "24 [INSECT] s" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
