What do ants eat?

Don’t be fooled by their small frame: ants are frequently famished. They’re omnivorous and eat everything, from parts of plants and flowers, fungi and seeds to insects, insect eggs, earthworms and slugs. They even eat some amphibians, birds, reptiles and small mammals. Ants also use their ingenious teamwork skills to overpower prey hundreds of times their size, using their strong outer mandibles to snip away at soft flesh.
