What do ants eat do they like sugar better than cheese?

Answer 1

AnswerAnts prefer sugar over cheese... they're attracted to sugar, like the sugar in your lemonade or something when you're on a picnic rather than a cheese sandwich. They do eat pretty much anything you give them, they munch on the corpses of insects larger than them, like grasshoppers. They also eat the syrup-like nectar texture from some plants... you can research further into the subject yourself, this is just what I know.

Answer 3

They will eat both because they're both edible, but if they had a choice, they would take sugar. That's because each small particle is easier to carry. Cheese, they would have to cut & carry, & sugar is like ready made to them. But if black ants are over the sugar, the fire ants would take the cheese. That's because they fight for food & fight because they are different types of ants. For example if you have been to India, you would have seen two different types of ants do not eat the same food at the same time.

Answer 4

A block of cheese might be too hard for small miniture ants, but if it is well melted the scent will lure those ants in. But solid sugar; melted makes a sweet taste.

Ants mostly eat sugary and sweet food, that's why they smell strong when squished out.

Hence sugar is more popular than cheese.
