Okay but the ant can still only go at the speed of ant.

Exactly! That's why we have a concept of observable universe.

As the universe expands (think of it not as ants moving, but more space created between ants as balloon gets inflated), at some distance away from us it starts doing so faster than light.

The light, however, can only travel at, well, the speed of light. As such, we will never see or reach anything that is beyond this light speed horizon. And as the expansion of the universe speeds up, more and more objects that we can still observe will disappear beyond this point.
