You should use kilograms.

That is so wrong! A kilogram is a measure of mass, not of weight. Also, you would need over 300,000 ants to have a mass of 1 kilogram! The basic unit for weight is Newtons,

You could use a Newton, with scientific notation, to allow for the fact that an ant weights so little. Or a micronewton.

An ordinary household ant will weigh approx 30 micronewtons.

You would typically use millimeters or micrometers to measure an ant, as they are small creatures and these units are more appropriate for measuring their size accurately.
