What do fire ants like to eat?

Fire ants like to eat anything from fresh food to rotten food and from wood to electrical cable. Fire ants tend to commit mass suicide when near human settlements because of this. When one ant finds a nice 'juicy' electrical cable and chews through it, it shorts out the circuit and 'frys' itself. The dead ant releases pheromones which attracts other fire ants as they think that their colony is under attack. So all the fire ants attack the cable and get electrocuted as well. However the usual diet of fire ants tends to be other invertebrates such as other ants and beetles that get in their way when they are foraging or moving nest sites.
