Food[]
Yellow crazy ants usually eat dead insects. When they die they take it back to the colony and feed thier young. They heavily depend on another source, aphids. When aphids eat they make honeydew which the ants harvest and eat. The ants have a social stomach which they use to feed other ants through a process called trophophelosis. The ants touches an ant's cheeks with its antenna and the other ant feeds it. This species is a generalist feeder. It is also able to eat fruits.
Life cycle[]
Ants reproduce by a method called budding.[not verified] In this methord. The queen ant and a few worker ant locates a new nest by walking without flying. These ants prefer to nest in ready made cavities. If these cavities are too small then expansion is done. Yellow crazy ants will nest in soil, cracks in walls. Between the tiles. And even within trees. Nearby colonies sometimes attack each other. Yellow crazy ants are capable of forming supercolonies with multiple queens.
