Do ants that get lost(accidentally get on my backpack) get adopted by local colonies?

Depends on the species (possible for an Argentinian any) but usually impossible for other species.
For the regular black european ants, each ant colony has its own odor. Even if their queens are related.
If caught by the other colony, they would get killed and perhaps eaten.
