I hope this isn’t too many videos. They’re backlogged since I only recently learned a good way to post them. By the way, I fixed (or worked around) the problem with getting flash to work with internet explorer.

Golfito, Costa Rica
Although this video was taken in Costa Rica anyone who has visited the tropics has seen leafcutter ants. The industrious buggers clear paths through the jungle to make highways for workers to carry leaves back to the hill. They use the leaves to cultivate a fungus which they eat (ant-fungus mutualism).
