Nice set! Fascinating ant!

Thank you - sadly I have never got a good shot of a leaf cutter ant carrying a leaf. There are loads of them and I have always thought later - and then forgotten to take one - hopefully next time.
(Also they are fast).

They always seem to be in grassy medians in Cali but of course one isn't carrying more than a cel phone.

Yes I tend not to use a conspicious camera in a Colombian city
