It attacks or chases off, or even kills and eats, any animals that seem to be threatening the plant or the aphids feeding on that plant. If you find such a plant you can experiment with it. Take a hair or some similar little thing and poke at the ants and their aphids and you will see how the ants attack you or your hair. Or tap the twig gently to alarm them without touching the aphids or ants. You might get results just by blowing gently on them. Or if you find a ladybird or other insect to put on the same branch, see how the ants try to attack them. Most aphid-eating insects either clamp down and leave the ants trying to bite their smooth, hard shells, or they give off a nasty taste that stops most kinds of ants from attacking them.
there are two types of ants in generally all ant species, the worker ant who collects food and other needed objects, and also the warrior ant who protects the queen and the nest with huge pinsers to clamp down on its foe. warrior ants are rarely seen outside of the nest.

No- fire ants are insects like other ants.
Fire ants like to eat anything from fresh food to rotten food and from wood to electrical cable. Fire ants tend to commit mass suicide when near human settlements because of this. When one ant finds a nice 'juicy' electrical cable and chews through it, it shorts out the circuit and 'frys' itself. The dead ant releases pheromones which attracts other fire ants as they think that their colony is under attack. So all the fire ants attack the cable and get electrocuted as well. However the usual diet of fire ants tends to be other invertebrates such as other ants and beetles that get in their way when they are foraging or moving nest sites.
