Explanation:
Ants are very fond of sweet
Ants usually swarm around sugar or sweets, but rarely crowd around salty food.
Do ants eat only sweets? Or, do they eat food that is not sweet?
Ants are very fond of sweets and have a keen sense of smell of honeydew and sugar. However, they do not eat sweets exclusively.
While sweets supply energy for various activities of ants, food materials such as dead insects and plant seeds are also essential for ants as the nutritional sources of the components of their body structures.
When workers find pieces of solid food, they carry them back to the nest. On the other hand, when they find sweet liquid food such as honeydew, they store the liquid in the crop in their abdomen and walk back to the nest. When they reach the nest, they feed the liquid food in drops directly from their mouth to the mouth of other members of the nest.
