Description

Leaf cutting ants are great agricultural workers. They cut vegetation to feed a fungus deep within their nest, this is then in turn fed to the ant larvae.

This is a great example of a symbiotic relationship. The fungus needs the ant to cultivate it and the ants larvae needs to fungus to stay alive.
