CZ&BG's Leaf Cutter Ants

Just under two minutes on jobs and social hiearchy within the Leaf Cutter Ant colony. Why is their stewardship important? When they remove the leaves and litter from the South & Central American Rainforest's floor, plants grow better and the animal down there can find their food more easily. All part of the great food web! Hope you like it!
(Oh, and pretend that picture frame is a leaf cutter ant colony box.)
