The diet of a thorny lizard are ants
The diet that the thorny devil mainly subsists on consists of ants, often the Iridomyrmex or the Ochetellus. Some reports indicate that the Iridomyrmex flavipes is its the predominant prey, but this species was renamed Ochetellus flavipes in 1992.
Thorny devils often eat thousands of ants in one day. They collect moisture in the dry desert via the condensation of dew on their bodies at night. This dew forms on its skin, and then it is channelled to its mouth in hygroscopic grooves between its spines.During rainfalls, capillary action allows the thorny devil to suck in water from all over its body
