I think yes !
but if you put a kind of ants with another kind OF ants into a jar, LIKE : ( put black ants with white ants ) , they will fight because the pheromone is different , and they don't know each OTHER

There are slave-taking ants that raid other colonies for workers, eggs and pupae. These other kinds of ants become part of the slavers' colony, so in theory the answer is yes. In practice, I'd say almost certainly not - there's a big difference between them doing it their way and some random ant being placed in that very abnormal situation.

it depends on whether both the ants are from the same colony or not
