Leaf Cutter Ants Leaf cutter ants are a unique animal to study. Although most people will never see one (they live in the tropics, and rarely leave their nests), they pack a lot of interesting facts into their tiny size. I myself have run into them a few times when I’ve gone on tropical trips.
Leaf cutter ants[1] are the most advanced of all ants. You see leaf cutter ants are different from other ants in the fact that they don’t just eat leaves, they process them first.
The name of these ants is perfect because they actually do cut leaves, usually from plants in your yard like clover, strawberries, etc. They carry the leaves back to their colony to feed their larvae. Each Queen can lay 50,000 eggs per month and each Leaf Cutter ant can have a colony of up to 10 million ants. Leaf Cutter Ants live in warm climates like Florida, Texas and California.
Leaf cutter ants are not only grand in size, but also in population. Counting in over 150 million individuals, they are the largest of all ants. Colonies can live up to 40 years while usually ranging five and a half years at most. With those kinds of numbers it’s possible that the leaf cutter ants you see right now might have children at home who were still crawling when Queen Elizabeth II was crowned.
Leaf cutter ants are a fascinating species that live in South America . These ants create impressive home colonies. Leaf cutters have evolved from a communal lifestyle to being semi-social insects. That is because the objective of leaf cutter ants has changed from living in a colony to helping their fellow ants.
