Energy from plants go to feed the fungi that ants and termites cultivate. Then the ants and termites eat those fungi, receiving that energy. The anteaters than eats the ants or termites, and gets the energy that originally came from the plants.
The same way they eat anything else. You may find the notion disgusting, but that's more a sign of the culture you've been raised in than anything else. Some people eat grubs, slugs, snails, insects larger and much "juicier" than ants, raw oysters, raw fish, raw beef, the salivary glands of sheep, chopped up lungs mixed with oatmeal... ants aren't even close to the top of the "ewww, that's gross" list.
Yes. The numbat has earned the nickname of "banded anteater" because of its distinctive stripes: it has a series of 6-8 white stripes on its back, over their reddish-brown fur. It lives almost exclusively on termites (rather than ants).
Ants natural predators are insects other than the Hymenoptera, arachnids, reptiles, amphibians, birds, mammals, and fungi. Naturally everything will prey on ants from an anteater to sparrow. Even ants will prey on other ants such as Fire Ants and Army Ants. Though on the flip side ants will prey on anything from other insects to amphibians so long as they're in large numbers (like the Army Ants).
Yes they do. I have a beetle and it eats ants
no anteaters are much bigger than armadillos. anteaters eat ants and armadilos dont. plus armadillos have a hardshell to protect them from predators :D
I can think of no better example than acacia trees and acacia ants. The tree has special chambers for the ants to live in and it has special growths specially made for feeding the ants.
Nothing eats a dingo other than things that decompose
the ants can carry over weigh things such as their food,any other ants which die. the ants can able to to carry double weigh than their weigh the ants can carry over weigh things such as their food,any other ants which die. the ants can able to to carry double weigh than their weigh

Carpenter ants are large ants, typically black in color, with a segmented body and elbowed antennae. They can be distinguished from other ant species by their size, as they are usually larger than most other ants, and by their habit of nesting in wood and causing damage to structures.
