What makes you think that ants cannot perceive humans?
We show up just fine to their senses, as evidenced by their consumption of our flesh when given a chance. Leave a body close to the right ant mound, and you will have a skeleton in fairly short order.
We have such a hard time understanding and sensing our fellow human beings. So much that, and as a result, we start disputes and wage wars. Considering our intelligence spread is negligible, what makes one think we could perceive and much less communicate with a superbeing whose intelligence is magnitudes superior to ours?
Are we able to perceive whomever created the universe, life, and the likeliness of them upkeeping it?
Depends. It turns out we have more cognitive power than an ant, e.g., if ants were smarter, they could perceive us, but they have no mechanism to do so. (Here by "perception" I'm talking about ants recognizing us as a living creature, not just a collection of pheromones.)
It would depend entirely on the nature of the "superior" being (ignoring the judgement issue regarding the nature of the word "superior").
If we think in that angle even a telescope is a superior eye as it can see longer than a human. We never consider it as a superior eye which some use at times.
A nature created being which exists would be more relevant to this question than a man made stuff.

they don't know we are humans and what we are capable of?
they don't know what we are.

It is just a more sophisticated machine or s/w.
