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.
Leaf-cutter Bee on Cosmos flower. Although they usually cut pieces of leaf from shrubs in the garden, sometimes they cut discs from the petals of the Cosmos flowers. Our garage is made of concrete panels bolted together. The bees occasionally use some of the unused bolt holes to make their nests.

A trip with friends up to Cutter Ranch near Clinton, BC to meet our young lambs before they are slaughtered in a couple months. We then stayed the weekend at Loon Lake for some relaxing, cooking, and of course eating!

The leaf-cutter ants would clear a 6" path on the forest floor, sometimes stretching for hundreds of yards from their burrow to the particular tree they chose to harvest from.
The leaves they collect are not eaten by the ants, but rather used as compost in their nest.
