Predation
Images of ants hunting and scavenging.
Ants will not often consume dead ants of their own species, but they may readily take ant carcasses of other species. Here a Rhytidoponera worker has found the carcass of a large Camponotus and is dragging it back to her nest where it will be fed to hungry larvae.
