Thanks Elphaba, I'd love to see those pics. I'm still finding my way around these sites.
I just realized, the Butterfly Park Cam-2 on the link I posted, shows a streaming
close-up of Leaf-Cutting Ants carrying leaves along a rope. In the daytime (UK)
they're non-stop from morning to night. Apparently they take the leaves to their
nest where they chew them up into a sort of compost which then grows fungus on which they feed.
It's probably just the novelty factor, but at the moment, I can't get enough of it!
