Leaf cutter ants

  

Making their own superhighway across the yard.


 

Are they cutting leaves and carrying them home?  No.  They’re stealing corn kernels from under a bird feeder!

 

 

 

Leaf cutter ants are gardeners.  They don’t eat the leaves they carry home.  They stash them and grow a fungus on them that they then use for food.  This particular colony of ants carrying corn, what can they be doing, other than making moonshine?

 

 

This morning’s Wordle.
