I realize the point is moot now, but my own Google search for pain causing a fever led me to multiple answers of NO, and I know from my own medical issues that it is untrue, fever can be a rather rare response of the body to pain.
Harvester ants are the staple food source for most types of Horned Lizards or (horn toads). They provide formic acid - a necessary nutrient for horned lizards. A typical horned lizard adult may eat from 20 - 100 harvester ants a day. However, most pet stores do not supply harvester ants as feeders for horned lizards.
Of course a toad could eat a mantis, if the mantis is small enough to fit in the toad's mouth. Toads will eat just about any insect it can fit i â¦ n it's mouth.
