general knowledge - I saw a huge line of ants carrying little white things. What were those little white things?

I think it could be food or eggs, but I'm not completely sure.

You are right. It could either be food or eggs.

If the line of ants is near a disturbed ant hill then it most probably what they are carrying are eggs.

Here's a video of ants emptying their nest of eggs under ten minutes!

Oh, Ok thanks! I was watering the trees near the ants so it was probably their eggs
