It is you who is missing the point.
The ants are talking amongst them self
And Allah (swt) is telling us what they are saying or translating their talk for us
In some ways, ants and people are alike. Both ants and people take care of their young, live together, have different jobs, and depend on each other. Ants have all the senses that humans have but use different body parts to achieve the same goals

Allah(swt) gave Prophet Solomon (pbuh) the ability to communicate with the animals
Pleas wait…..before you work yourself in frenzy and raise you bias and rigid attitude to dangerous levels, which makes you miss the point and instead of reflecting you start deflecting ……calm down.
Let me give you example of some amazing people.
Human Computer
At the fifty-second mark, the lady opens her eyes and slowly pronounces the answer, ‘546372891’. The professor checks it with the result given by the computer. Yes, she is correct. It is the 23rd root of the 201 digit long number. Earlier that day, the fastest computer of the time, Univac 1108, had taken 62 seconds to give the answer
(Note: she actually took even less time to calculate in her brain, 52 second includes the time taken to dictate the answer)

Daniel Paul Tammet
He was born with congenital childhood epilepsy
but the detail and specificity of Tammet's mental imagery of numbers is unique. In his mind, he says, each number up to 10,000 has its own unique shape and feel, that he can "see" results of calculations as landscapes, and that he can "sense" whether a number is prime or composite. He has described his visual image of 289 as particularly ugly, 333 as particularly attractive, and pi as beautiful
The Boy with Sonar Vision
He's the only person in the world who sees using nothing but eco location, like a sonar or a dolphin.
Mister Eat-it-All
He apparently possesses a stomach and intestine with walls of twice the expected thickness, and his digestive acids are, allegedly, unusually powerful, allowing him to digest a certain portion of his metallic meals.
The Magnetic Man
He says that he discovered he had the amazing ability to make objects stick "magnetically" to his skin,

So please do not balk or make fun or disbelieve when it is mentioned that Prophet Solomon (pbuh) had the ability to communicate with the animals.
