Question: Is this evidence AGAINST evolution or is it evidence that there IS evolution but sometimes certain species are SO successful that they reach an evolutionary "stasis" for millions of years?

One would think that the survival of the fittest would apply here, as it has all through living history. If the ant is ultimately suited to survive in just about any climate, it doesn't have to adapt to climate change, therefore it doesn't have to come down to natural selection. They survive simply because they are able to.
