It's a central Australian aboriginal myth, which you can see depicted in
paintings from the area. The Ant-dreaming is a story of creation of the
area (= the world) from the perspective of a mythical "ant" creature,
which has the form of the green ants one finds all over the place there.

p.s. Green ants are good tucker.
