Food食物

适合在教室里养的蚂蚁大多数什么都吃,它们吃捕到的各种小型昆虫、碰巧找到的昆虫尸体,花蜜或者蜜露.
Habitat居所
Most ant species live in the soil.Some,like the carpenter ants,also live in wood (they excavate,but do not actually eat the wood).Some ants live in cavities made inside plants,such as acorns,twigs,and galls.
大多数蚁种住在土里.有的,比如木工蚁,也住在木头里（它们在木头里掘洞,但不吃木头）.有的蚂蚁在植物上挖洞居住,比如橡实,无花果和瘿中.
