Though ants are known to consume sweets, the Bull ant’s diet comprises mainly with protein, which they may get from other insects like bugs, etc.. They also enjoy consuming fruits, nectar and seeds. They also have the ability to invade other colonies. The queen can take over other colonies by killing the original queen and create the other ants their captive.

Known for its competitive character, Bull ants produce an extreme, venom-filled sting which causes terrible pain for the victim. They are horrendous when they sense their home is attacked or destroyed. Their bite/sting can also cause allergic reactions in people that can be life-threatening. The Bull ant uses its venom to incapacitate its prey.
