"Aliens" right in front of us this whole time?

The word "aliens" is a very broad word and we seem to only have one vision of it when the word is mentioned; that being the typical small, big headed, green/grey, looking creature. An alien is only an alien because we don't know exactly what it is and it is foreign to us.

Now, there are certain species and organisms in this world that at one point in time we did not know what they were; they were unknown to us. Now, the more we studied and the more we came into contact with these organisms living on earth is the more we drew ourselves away from the concept alienation.

Take into consideration ants. To us as humans we walk by them and on top of them everyday and have become so accustomed to their existence they're just another species living on the same planet as us. But what if in fact they are "aliens"? They have their own world and civilization in which they live in and in which we cease to fully understand. They are very intelligent creatures and have their own ways of living. We overlook them as just insects but in fact, they could be aliens (the term is vague which is why I ascribed the ants that title). They don't affect us in anyway physically so we just take it as "whatever". We are so used to being the cat (in the cat and mouse analogy) that we assume aliens would be more significant and more affecting to us.

Bottom line is that we have a visual construct for aliens. They are all around us it's just we overlook them because the term itself makes people think that they would come from outside of earth. I am not denying the existence of extraterrestrial beings it's just something that we haven't fully gained 100% truth for. On the other hand, the species we share this earth with were aliens to us at first, until we ascribed them names and the media told us that they were what they were (names and species). I used ants as an example but obviously there are more species and organisms on earth that share the same intelligence as us in their own way. We might not understand them, but they are intelligent.

Let me know your opinions, on my opinion. :)
