Description
Leafcutter ant (Acromyrmex volcanus), carrying a flower up a tree to an arboreal nest in lowland tropical rain forest of La Selva Biological Station, Costa Rica. The worker ants are all female and can carry up to twelve times their own weight. The ants do not eat the leaf fragments, instead they use them as fertilizer for the fungus they use for food.
