Field Ant Behavior
Field ants are one of the most diverse types of ants in the world, boasting over 150 species worldwide. These insects subsist primarily off of a sweet substance known as honey-dew, derived from insects such as mealy bugs and aphids.
As there are a wide variety of field ants in the world, it is not possible to make many generalizations.
