These are the coolest ants, ever. It's such a funny sight to walk upon a row of walking leaves! We took great care not to step on any of them! I wish I had a better camera so I could have gotten closer shots!
(By the way, these are leaf-cutter ants. They are tiny ants that cut leaves and carry them back to their nest. They pile them up to make a compost in which to grow fungi, which they eat. You can read about it here.)
This picture was taken in a village called San Jose, right outside of Pucallpa, Peru.
