For ants, it probably doesn't get more special and important (other than being queen).

The ant: I am the apex of a line of ancestors that gave me both a purpose and the ability to fulfill it. I could not ask for a more perfect existence.

Alternative spin: you are the guardian of the hive, only you have been given the genetic power from the queen to protect us when our enemies are at the door, we all rely on you. Also I don't think ants can build doors!

I'm so spiteful towards GRRM for not finishing the book series that I'm kind of happy his legacy will be that tv show.

I'm pretty sure they sometimes send a sacrificial ant or two out at night to seal up an entrance from the outside.
