Leafcutter ants

Carry Ants-2

These little guys were all over the rainforest.  Every once and a while we would find a line of ants stretching for hundreds of feet.  They would be carrying leaves back to their nest from the top of huge trees.  Thousands of them making this huge journey, over and over again.
