So, let's consider the ants from Them. What would giant ants really be like?
They would be incredibly hungry. During the summer an adult ant can eat half an fruit fly per day. Ant can simply stay still and use much less food, but if it's summer they'll want to increase their numbers and feed not just themselves but their larvae so they can raise more ants and have a nuptial flight to start more colonies.
Adult ants can do rather well on sugars, but the young need protein.
