Leafcutter ants

  At work.   They carry leaf bits back to their underground nest, not just to eat, but to farm as well.  They create a garden underground and cultivate a fungus that grows on the leaves to produce a food for their larvae.   These ants live in large colonies and can excavate nests underground that are up to 100 feet wide!
