Fire ants eat almost anything, but primarily other insects. Workers sting other insects and then tear them into manageable pieces, which they take back into the colony. Fire ants are attracted to the oils in insects, worms and seeds. This is why oils are used as attractants and insecticide solvents in fire ant baits. During the winter months, fire ants may be less attracted to oils. Fire ants are also attracted to sugars, such as nectar or aphid honeydew. Although fire ant workers can chew, they can only swallow liquids. Solid foods that are brought back into the colony are digested by larvae in the fourth stage of development and fed to other members of the colony.

Predators are animals that hunt and consume other organisms for food, known as prey. This predator-prey relationship is a fundamental aspect of ecosystems, where predators help control prey population sizes and maintain balance in the ecosystem.
Example: Lion = Predator Gazelle = Prey The predator seeks after the prey.
A prey is what a predator hunts down to kill and eat. A prey's predator is what eats it. For example: A gazelle is the prey of a leopard (predator).
Yes, they prey on small mammals such as mice and shrews.
