These ants are omnivores[3] and scavengers, typically foraging in warmer temperatures.[1] They deliver painful stings, which are effective in both killing prey and deterring predators.[60] Jack jumpers have smooth stingers, and can thus sting indefinitely.[61] Jack jumper ants are skilled hunters, partially due to their excellent vision; they can even kill and devour wasps and bees.[62] They also kill and eat other ants, such as carpenter ants (Camponotus)[62] and feed on sweet floral secretions and other sugar solutions.
