What eats leaf cutter ants?

Some kinds of ant eaters such as tamanduas will eat some of them, but their main predators probably are little flies in the family Phoridae; they lay their eggs on the necks of the large worker ants (sometimes called soldiers), and their larvae bore into the heads of the ants and feed there till the head falls off. Most of the inside of the head is muscle for the jaws, most of the brain being in the neck, so the ant does not die immediately.

A predator like that, that kills the prey in such a parasite-like way, we call a parasitoid.

The ants have adapted through evolution to avoid the flies as much as they can, and even carry tiny workers on their backs to fend off the flies, but the flies still are a major predator.

What is the male ant called?

The female ant is simply called "Queen".

When the queen starts to lay eggs, her fertilized eggs will become female ants. Almost all ants are females.

The eggs then hatch after several days. The queen feeds the larvae that emerge by spitting up food she makes from her leftover wing muscles, from her own energy reserves, and sometimes from eating some of the other eggs or larvae.

The larvae grow then form pupae. Gradually, they turn into adult ants. When the pupae open in a week or two, adult ants emerge and start to gather food. Worker ants are sterile females, which means they do not lay eggs. Worker ants keep eggs, larvae, and pupae at the right temperature by moving them from chamber to chamber within the nest, the worker ants take care of the new eggs, larvae, and pupae. They take care of the queen too, all she does is lay eggs. She may live for 10 to 20 years, laying eggs fertilized during her one mating flight.

Most of the fertilized eggs become new workers. But occasionally the worker ants feed more food to some of the young, and that makes them turn into queen ants. Sometimes the queen lays unfertilized eggs, which become male ants. The male ants don't help maintain the colony. Instead, they fly from the nest in search of a queen. When they find a queen, they mate. Then the cycle begins again.

What is the average speed of a black ant?

We measured seed harvester ants, approximately 4mg in mass and 5-8mm long, traveling up to 20 millimeters per second, or about 0.04 miles per hour. But it's not fair to compare ant ant walking to something our size running or driving a car. The average stride of an ant's leg may be only 2 millimeters. By comparison, our stride length is generally 0.5 meter, 250 times greater. So imagine how fast the ant would be going if it was our size... a speedy 10mph.
