"Superant!
A Leafcutter ant can carry almost ten times its own weight.
They are the weightlifters of the ant world, carrying large pieces of leaves on their back to their underground nests.
A Leafcutter ant carrying a leaf would be like a 200 pound weightlifter carrying a 2,000 pound car.",
"A caste system.
A Leafcutter colony is divided into castes, based mostly on size.
Each caste performs different functions. Soldiers are large workers who defend the colony and defend the lines of ants collecting leaves. Small workers tend to the eggs, grow fungus and feed the colony.
The colony is made up of mostly sterile females.",
"Picky eaters.
A special fungus serves as the Leafcutter ants’ only food.
The ants carry leaves back to the nest, but they do not eat the leaves.
Rather, they chew the leaves into pulp and leave it on the ground. This pulp sprouts a fungus which the ants then eat.",
"'Ant' farmers.
Leafcutter ants are accomplished crop farmers. They cultivate their own food in underground gardens.",
"A real ant problem.
Leafcutter ants are major agricultural pests.
They strip plants, trees and shrubs of their leaves, causing millions of dollars in crop losses. They have been estimated to do a billion dollars worth of damage per year in North and South America.
In the US, the Texas Leafcutter ant is believed to cause a total annual loss of $5 million in Texas and Louisiana alone.",
"Underground kingdoms.
Leafcutter ants build huge nests.
Their nests may cover 3,000 to 4,500 square feet and may be 8 feet or more deep. They have many chambers containing fungus and two or three dozen entrances, which are hundreds of yards apart. ",
"Waste management specialists.
Leafcutter ants have one of the most advanced waste-management systems in nature.
Specialized 'waste workers' segregate garden waste products and dead members of the colony. Transporters carry the waste to garbage heaps. There, other workers who live in the heap, turn over the pile to accelerate decomposition.",
"Trailblazers.
Like Hansel and Gretel, Leafcutter ants leave a trail through the forest.
They are selective about the species of leaves they collect and travel several hundred yards foraging and gathering leaves.
They leave an invisible scent on the forest trails to help them find their way home.",
"Till death do us part.
There can be two or three million Leafcutter ants in a single colony.
They live in huge underground colonies consisting of a queen, workers, soldiers and males. Males are small and have wings. They fly from the colony to mate with a queen, and then die soon afterwards. "];
