They also like grasshoppers, mealworms, and mosquitoes.AntsDakota wrote: ↑Sun Aug 05, 2018 2:44 pmYeah, Solenopsis molesta have a weird diet.That gives them the common name "Grease ants". Also, I think that butter probably has carbohydrates. For a while I was panicking about what to feed them, since it was difficult to dig up ant nests and steal their brood to feed to them, so I was having trouble feeding them. But I finally found out that they like flies, fruit flies, and butter. I will try peanut butter when they are hungry again.idahoantgirl wrote: ↑Sat Aug 04, 2018 8:35 pmReally?
