RE: Leaf Cutter Ants Hard at Work in Panama
Wowzers! That is very interesting.
Can't believe they can carry another ant, carrying another leaf haha! Some ants must just like to take it easy...
Cool post, I wonder why they pick out specific trees. Could they be chosen specifically so that they can produce better fungus? Or fungus with certain qualities? Like some super strength syrum? :P
Yeah, they are pretty cool and strong. I read that if a certain leaf starts to kill their fungus they will stop bringing that kind of leaf in and go find another one. So I don't know if some type of fungicide on the leaves would cause something like that... Apparently they have huge nests too.
