stock photo Leaf cutter ant

March of the Leaf Cutter

It is said that leaf cutter ants will collect up to 15% of all leaf material in their environment. They don't eat it but use it as fertilizer for edible fungi that grows in their nest.

I feel like that ant today, going back to work after more than 3 weeks off.
