While in Costa Rica, hiking trails with my cameras, I spend a lot of time looking at the ground for snakes. (There are snakes there you don’t want to come upon by surprise, trust me.) It was amazing how many colonies of these leafcutter ants I saw. They were everywhere, crisscrossing the trails, heading up and down tree trunks on their own two-way highways. Not only were they industrious, but the leaves they could carry, compared to their own body size, was astounding. Check it out.
