milligram
The metric units of mass are: Kilogram=mass of 4 videocassettes Gram=mass of a small paper clip Milligram=mass of an eyelash

A grain of salt does not equal 1 milligram; rather, it is approximately 58 milligrams. This discrepancy arises from the historical use of the grain as a unit of measurement in the apothecaries' system, where 1 grain is defined as 1/7000th of a pound. In contrast, the metric system defines 1 milligram as 1/1000th of a gram. Therefore, a grain of salt is significantly larger than 1 milligram.
For an ant farm, I would suggest a kilogram. For an individual ant, a milligram.
