These are #leafcutterants they can carry twenty times their body weight. What they are doing is cutting and process fresh vegetation (leaves, flowers, and grasses) to serve as the nutritional substrate for their fungal cultivates Next to humans, leafcutter ants form the largest and most complex animal societies on Earth. In a few years, the central mound of their underground nests can grow to more than 98 feet across, and they can contain eight million individuals. #thelesnestravels #travelingwiththelesnes #thelesne (at Ant-Land) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNQ26XZFQu8/?igshid=11b3zn68tst7m

Leafcutter ants, Atta cephalotes, doing their thing! . Atta cephalotes is a species of leafcutter ant in the tribe Attini. A single colony of ants can contain up to 5 million members, and each colony has one queen that can live more than 15 years. . After cutting pieces with their jaws, the ants bring the leaf clippings to their nest. In the nest is a fungus garden that decomposes the leaves, which in turn becomes food for the ants. . .
