So an colony of 50 ants will only eat about 1 gram of food per day (50 ants x 2 miligrams each), and they will harvest about 37 grams or 1.3 ounces of food and material each day.
We first need to determine how much an individual ant eats in one day. The amount an ant will eat will vary from species to species, but the average ant consumes approximately 1-2 miligrams of food per day - About 20-35% of their body weight. This is not the same as the amount of food that they will harvest, or bring back to the nest.
