The setting for the story is an ant colony in Central Park in New York City.

His friends include fellow worker Azteca Jennifer Lopez and a soldier ant, Weaver Sylvester Stallone. Z meets Princess Bala Sharon Stone at a bar where she goes to escape from her suffocating royal life and falls in love with her.To see Bala again, Z exchanges places with Weaver and joins the army. He marches with the ranks, befriending a staff sergeant named Barbatus Danny Glover in the process. He is unaware that the armys leader and Balas fianc, General Mandible Gene Hackman, is secretly sending all the soldiers loyal to the Queen to die so he can begin to build a colony filled with powerful ants. At the base of a tree near nightfall, Z realizes he is actually marching into battle, and all of the soldiers except for Z are killed by acidshooting termites. Following the battle, all Z can find of Barbatus is his head. Before he dies, Barbatus tells Z to think for himself rather than follow orders all his life, leaving Z saddened and depressed. Z returns home and is hailed as a war hero, even though he did not do anything and was traumatized by the fighting. He is also congratulated by the secretly irate General Mandible, and is brought before the Queen. There he meets Bala, who eventually recognizes him as a worker. When Z finds that he has been cornered, he panics and pretends to take Bala hostage to trick the queens guards into letting him leave rather than imprison him. They escape the colony and hide, and Z begins searching for Insectopia, a legendary paradise a drunken bar patron John Mahoney told him about. ........
