The amazing Leaf Cutter Ants



Leaf cutter ants are all over Costa Rica.


It is amazing to watch them in long lines, carrying pieces of flowers and leaves. Today there were leaves on the ground and I was able to watch them cut the leaf right in front of me.


Once it is cut they carry it back to their mounds, which can be a long distance. The mounds can be big with millions of ants living there.
