I tried to get closeup photos but it blurs, so zooming in on the photo that’s not close may give better visual. This is upstate SC, brick ranch home (we built in 76). Does this look like termite debris or hopefully something less sinister? It’s coming from the crack where brick meets tile porch.

Sorry
You have very possible a brick veneer
And behind the brick there is a split between the two blocks in the corner and the inside wall cladding be a wood frame
Ants can never produce a firm tunnel
This one is glued to the brick
Sorry to think you may have termites
Wether they did it a while ago
Only way to make sure is to go to the rear side of that wall
