A pangolin can consume a significant number of ants and termites daily, often eating between 70 million to 100 million insects. Their diet primarily consists of ants and termites, which they capture using their long tongues. The exact number may vary based on the species of pangolin and the availability of food in their habitat.
up to 30 000 termites and ants per day!
Echidnas eat between three and four thousand termites or ants a day.

Yes. Numbats feed almost exclusively on termites, although they will sometimes also eat ants whilst foraging for termites. A single numbat might consume up to 20,000 termites in a day.
It is a solitary animal, found in many habitats, including grasslands, deciduous forests and rainforests. It feeds mainly on ants and termites, sometimes up to 30,000 insects in a single day.
35,000 ants a day
Termites work 24 hours (around the clock)
Pangolins primarily feed on ants and termites, using their long, sticky tongues to extract these insects from their nests. They can consume thousands of ants and termites in a single day, making them specialized myrmecophagous (ant-eating) mammals. Their diet plays a crucial role in controlling insect populations in their habitats.
They are attracted to light. So are termites when they swarm. Indoors, they will invariably go for the windows during the day.
The numbat of Western Australia eats termites.Numbats feed almost exclusively on termites, although they will sometimes eat other types of ants. They have sharp claws for digging into termite mounds, although they prefer to dig out termites from under logs and underground, being able to detect them with their very sensitive noses. They have a sticky tongue for collecting the termites. A numbat eats as much as 20,000 termites a day.
As many as 30,000 a day!
Not exactly. Numbats are insectivorous and feed almost exclusively on termites, although they will sometimes eat other types of ants.

They have a sticky tongue for collecting the termites. A numbat eats as much as 20,000 termites a day.
