Normal ants don't live more than a 3 years, queens can live up to 25 years.
I'm not sure which type of ants live for 12 years. Maybe some of the shorter-lived queens.
Termite queens live the longest of any insects at 50 years. Did you know that termites are technically a type of cockroach?
Periodical cicadas always live exactly either 13 or 17 years.
In Indiana, we had a gigantic swarm of the 17-year cicadas a few years ago.
