Yes, ants do eat spiders. Most ants are omnivores, meaning their diet consists of both plant and animal matter. As such, they eat a variety of food including other invertebrates like spiders.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, some studies have shown certain ants to be among the primary predators of some spiders. For example, weaver ants are common predators and known to be particularly dangerous to jumping spiders.<\/p>\n\n\n
