Can you eat food after ants have been on it?

Oh, dude, technically you can eat food after ants have been on it. I mean, ants won't poison your food or anything, but like, who wants to chow down on ant-flavored snacks, am I right? Just give it a good shake or wash it off if you're feeling brave enough to still eat it.

What seeds do harvester ants eat?

It depends on the kind of harvester ant and what kinds of seeds there are where they live. Some eat various kinds of grain, that is to say the seeds of grasses. The grains we grow for harvest come from grasses that grow especially big seeds, but harvester ants generally go for wild grass seeds of a moderate size. This is not to say that they will not also gather the seeds of commercial grains. Some kinds of seeds get eaten by the ants, others grow a lumpy part called an elaiosome that is suitable for the ants to eat. The real seed of such plants either is not good to eat, or has a very hard shell. Once the ants have eaten the elaiosome off the seed, they dump the real seed in the area where they collect their rubbish. There the seed can germinate and the rubbish acts as a fertiliser for the plant. When a plant relies on ants to distribute its seeds, we speak of the process as myrmecochory. Apart from the grains that the harvester ants eat (which is not myrmecochory, because the seeds themselves get eaten), we find myrmecochory in pod bearing plants like some kinds of Acacia, but also in some species of Agathosma and some species of Euphorbia

What eats ants in a ranforest?

It depends on the kind of ant and the kind of rainforest. Animals that eat large kinds of ants like leafcutter ants major workers might not even notice tiny kinds of ants like Argentine ants. Animals that eat large ants in small colonies could only get a few ants at a time, so such animals usually are small or eat a lot of other things as well, otherwise they would starve. Animals with tough, hairy skins, such as anteaters might not mind eating ants with sharp jaws, and they even might not mind eating some stinging ants, but they might not be able to eat large amounts of poisonous ants. In general however in rainforests one gets some kinds of anteaters. In African and Asiatic rainforests one might find pangolins (scaly anteaters) eating ants and termites. In the Americas there are a few species of tamanduas and pygmy anteaters. In Australia there are several kinds of marsupials that eat ants. In all continents and all rainforests there are various kinds of insects that each ants, for example some kinds of assassin bugs. There also are some kinds of birds that eat ants. Some birds such as the family of antbirds that live in the Americas, have been said to eat ants, but actually they seldom do so; they mainly follow ant swarms to eat the animals that the ants flush out of cover. Rainforest frogs, including the poison-arrow tree frogs, eat a lot of ants and in fact they get their poison from the ants they eat.


Do ants puke?

Technically, in some way some ants do puke. Honey ants, which store honey for the rest of the colony, regurgitate honey to feed the other worker ants. Regular worker ants, carpenter ants, and multiple other kinds of ants do not puke.


Will an antants eat another ant?

It depends on the kind of ant. Some kinds of ants are fierce meat eaters; they will actually go out and fight and kill ants in other colonies, generally ants of another species, and carry them back to eat or to feed to their larvae. Some kinds of tiny ants will burrow next to the burrows of larger species of ants. They will rush in to the larger burrows to carry away the eggs and larvae of the larger ants to their nests in the smaller burrows. There the large ants can't get at them. Then they will eat the eggs and larvae that they collected. Some kinds will eat their own colony mates when they die. However, some other kinds of ants mostly eat plant material, seeds and so on. Such ants are not much inclined to eat meat as a rule and if any of their colony mates die, they simply leave the corpses on their garbage dumps.
