Leaf-Cutter Ants

entry description
While in the Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica, I spotted a long line of Leaf-Cutter ants high up on an unassuming branch, bringing scraps of leaves back to their colony to build a huge nest made with sticks, branches, rocks, and mud. Being extremely small, I was so amazed at how quickly and diligently they were moving, and how they’ve created a home 100 times their size for their community.about the photographer
