Eat Only Pre-digested Food
Ants can only ingest liquids. So how do those ant species that eat other insects manage to get the food down? They leave it to the babies of the nest. Adult ants bring solid food back to the nest and chew it into a pulp. They then feed it to the larvae that ingest it, digest it, and turn it out in a liquid form. This liquid is then shared by all the colony members.
