I suppose ants would eat worms.

Ant lions eat ants. They build little traps that are like a cone-shaped hole in sandy soil. They hide just below the surface at the bottom. When an ant comes along it disturbs a few grains of soil, alerting the ant lion which then springs out and grabs the ant and devours it.

You can trick the ant lions by using a small stick to simulate an ant. They jump out to grab. I'm glad they are not as big as a human.
