Field Notes

Description:

This series shows a leaf cutter ant that was... cutting a leaf. It followed a semi-circular pattern, until the leaf was almost all severed, then another ant - which was under the leaf - helped it to pull the leaf part to the upper surface. And then, it got the leaf part in its mandibles and took its way to the nest.
