It is a very interesting ant.

3. Red Fire Ant

Red fire ants have a strong ability to survive. They are typical omnivores and will eat almost anything. Almost anything that can be eaten can become food in their mouths. In addition to invertebrates led by insects, they will also eat the corpses and carrion of mammals, as well as up to 149 kinds of flower and grass seeds and 57 kinds of crops. At the same time, they will also "graze" aphids, scale insects, etc. to suck honeydew, sugars and amino acids. Of course, if they encounter eggs of birds and reptiles, they will never let them go.
