Leafcutter ants can carry more than 20 times their body weight and cut and process fresh vegetation (leaves, flowers, and grasses) to serve as the nutritional substrate for their fungal cultivars.
anybody? anybody? anybody want to guess? i'll give you a hint the MM theme for tomorrow, 3/9, is cutters ~grin~
this may be one of the best macros of the ones i did but it probably won't be the one i post :)

Macro Mondays theme Cutter
I didn't really enjoy this weeks theme but decided to rise to the challenge. This is a julienne cutter to cut veggies into strips especially for sushi making. The blade is just under 2 inches in width so it's well within the requirements. HMM!
Leaf-cutting bees are solitary bees that use leaf sections to make nests. I think this is either a female Patchwork Leaf-cutter or Willughby Leaf-cutter bee?? Can anyone help with ID? It is nesting in an old sleeper in my garden.
One of those egg slicer things. Completely redundant in my house as I don't eat eggs. And yet it lurks in the cupboard ...
Taken for Macro Mondays 'Cutter' theme.
It’s been a while since I posted here...time constraints and personal matters etc
Anyways, here’s my pathetic attempt at MacroMondays Cutter.
This is a replacement cutter for a grinding wheel dresser. It was backlit while sitting atop of a chainsaw scabbard.
Grinding dressers are used to return a grinding wheel to its original round shape (to true it up), to expose fresh grains for renewed cutting action (including cleaning away clogged areas), or to make a different profile (cross-sectional shape) on the wheel's edge.

Huge colonies of leaf-cutter ants (Atta spp.) are scattered in the lowland tropical forests of Central and South America. These colonies can be as large as a house, although the size is hard to visualize because they are underground.
The ants are active day and night, often using the same pathways, and I’ve seen places where they have worn trails six inches deep into the soil. They are always busy harvesting leaves of almost any plant and bringing them back to the nest.
Remarkably, they are not eating the leaves but using them to grow fungi. In the nest, they mash up the leaves and use them to grow a specific type of fungus that they use as their only food source. They are, in fact, fungus farmers, not leaf eaters.

This is another insect working the yellow rabbitbrush. The leaf cutter bee cuts half moon pieces out of leaves and uses the leaf to form a nesting chamber in a hole. A single egg and a piece of honey is deposited in the nest and the female moves on to repeat the process. The bee collects pollen on the ventral surface of the abdomen.
Aquila was built in 1966 but found as a derelict in 2011. She was rebuilt in two and a half years even though “we had no money”. They put in a lot of hard work and ingenuity and she has now been sailing for ten years. In the WBF program she is shown with a white hull and and a rainbow staysail. When I found the boat at the dock, it was painted turquoise and red and he did not bring the rainbow sail.

After pulling my house apart, I finally found this cat cookie cutter I bought for Halloween years ago! I guess I don't have enough Polka Dots in my life, lol.

We left Bremerhaven and all those big ships and cranes and industry to head further up north (although just a bit).
I really wanted to visit this small harbour called Wremen and see the shrimp cutters and the tiny lighthouse.
I include a second photo with a indicating scale.
