The North American red imported fire ant is unique in that it forms colonies with multiple queens. WORK The red imported fire ant's life is extremely organized. Every ant has a job to do. They go about doing their job day after day, without stopping. The worker's job is to keep the larvae, pupae, and queen clean.
Cleanliness appears to be extremely important to the ants.
They are constantly cleaning the larvae, the pupae, the queen, and the colony. The workers also forge to find food for the colony. The red imported fire ant has two stomachs, one for its own food supply, and one for the colony's food supply. The second stomach is called a crop. They feed mostly on other insects but can attack small birds and other invertebrates.
