RE: Ants - Leafcutter Ants (Atta cephalotes)
Such a wonderful post, @gardenbsquared. I love ants and to be honest very impressed by the size of the leafcutter ones. Beside to be compact animals they also know for their intelligence. I recently read an article of one Russian scientist - she was making experiments with ants and came to a conclusion that they have an intresting intellect able to recognize certain patterns and change their behaviour accordingly. For example, they are able to memorize the path in labyrinths very easy comparing to the other animals. I was very impressed with it. I do belive that ant and human have something in common - they live inside families, they protect and help each other, besides they have their own gardens and animals - meaning that they grow fungus and have aphids. They are such a wonderful creatures. I thank you for your post and wonderful photos.

I love the picture. How different from ants are we really? Sometimes you just need the right microscope. Thank you for sharing your perspective, I could not agree more.
Yep, you need the right microscope of a perspective%)) We, humans, tend to think that we are "the kings of the nature" yet, in fact, there are creatures that can be considered a greater example%))
