What kind of ants fight?
The answer to your question is yes ants and termites do fight each other, in some cases its a territorial war/attack, or species of ants just attack termites as soon as they discover the colony, aiming to completely destroy it or for a large feed to nourish the colony. A notorious specie of ant is know for doing so, that is the driver ant it will violently raid the termites nest battling off defense termites. when termites are highly alerted the soldier termites will flow out of the colony attacking the driver ants, a soldier termites mandibles are strong enough to slice through a humans skin. however the driver ants have a target to kill the soldier termites as they are strong and almost plow through the ants, the ants latch onto the soldier termite and as soon as the termite tries to bite, the driver ant stabs (piercing) inside the termites mouth injecting its venom killing it. while the war is being held between the termites and ants a worker ant will alert all worker ants, suddenly when all of the worker ants know whats happening they tend to go into a berserk frenzy. They all start to create a tough dome around the queen that is made out of thick mud. This protects the termite queen allowing her to rebuild and reproduce if the ants raid deep into the colony killing a lot of the termites.
