Wanted to try and turn the Taj mahal into a wedding cake - learned a lot about what Photoshop can do from this one!
leaf-cutter ant hauls a leaf more than three times its size back to the nest.
Leaf-cutter 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 30 metres (98 ft) across with smaller, radiating mounds extending out to a radius of 80 metres (260 ft), taking up 30 to 600 square metres (320 to 6,500 sq ft) and containing eight million individuals.The ants actively cultivate their fungus, feeding it with freshly-cut plant material and maintaining it free from pests and molds. The fungus that is cultivated by the adults feeds the ants larvae, and the adult ants feed off of the leaf sap. The fungus needs the ants to stay alive, and the larvae need the fungus to stay alive.
