Ant-like species seem unlikely to develop meaningful interstellar travel. To advance to the level of research and resource processing likely required to reach Earth, or even just communicate with other species seems like it would've developed commerce at some point, even if it's a utopian collectivist society, they need some sort of resource allocation methodology and would need to agree to focus finite resources on free developing the kind of tech necessary for interstellar travel.
I mean yeah, interstellar bugs might be a thing but contact with them would be far less exciting than contact with a truly intelligent spacefaring race.
You’re making assumptions about alien life. It’s an unknown unknown. We have no way to conceive how any hypothetical alien society is arranged. You don’t know how they might allocate resources. Therefore to say something so silly as “it would take a lot of alien money” requires just as absurd of a reply.
