It matters what ant it is. Most ant types will never eat there own colony. If you are thinking this is true because your ants are attacking each other that is because they are from different colonys, they will naturally kill each other because they are not from the same place.
The decomposers of the ant colony are the ants that eat the dead. Ants that die in the colony are fed to the decomposers and the queen ant. Ants are naturally decomposers because they feed off dead things.
Ants work together in a colony by each ant having their own job. There are ants that gather food, there are scout ants that find food for the other ants to gather. There are also warriors who attach other nests and defend their own nest and queen.
Ants will eat any living (or dead) thing they can bring into their colony even if they have to rip it apart alive. I've seen it.
a Colony of ants
A group of ants are called a colony/army of ants
It depends on the kind of ant. Some kinds of ants are fierce meat eaters; they will actually go out and fight and kill ants in other colonies, generally ants of another species, and carry them back to eat or to feed to their larvae. Some kinds of tiny ants will burrow next to the burrows of larger species of ants. They will rush in to the larger burrows to carry away the eggs and larvae of the larger ants to their nests in the smaller burrows. There the large ants can't get at them. Then they will eat the eggs and larvae that they collected. Some kinds will eat their own colony mates when they die. However, some other kinds of ants mostly eat plant material, seeds and so on. Such ants are not much inclined to eat meat as a rule and if any of their colony mates die, they simply leave the corpses on their garbage dumps.
A group of ants is called a colony. Ants are social insects that live and work together in large groups to ensure the survival of the colony. Each ant has a specific role and contributes to the functioning of the colony.
A colony of ants is marching on my corn patch! There's a fresh colony of ants invading the kitchen.
A group of ants is called a colony or an army.
Ants steal other ants so that they will work for the conquering colony. young ants are like children and rather helpless and happy provided they are fed. the young ants get use to the smell of the new colony and believe this to be the norm. In short the young ants dont know that they were not born into the colony they are now with so act as if they were born there and work like other native ants in that colony.
