ants are both, but mostly preys because many, many animals eat ants, rite? For example, crows eat ants, and birds eat ants, and many creatures eat ants, so they are mostly prey, in my opinion, that is.

∙ 15y agoIn it's own type of way, Ants are actually pretty much both, predators and prey, because ants eat some other tiny little bugs, and insects, and they also get eaten by birds, and other creatures. But ants would most probably go to the preycategory, because they cant actually eat as much of other insects, or creatures, as much as they get eaten. Plus, they dont exactly eat animals, they actually kind of decompose it, so they cant actually have their own preys to kill. So ants are prey, because they get eaten by many other creatures way more than how much they can actually eat other creatures. Ants are prey.
