Tiny leaf cutter ant (Atta sp.) workers (known as minims) swarming around a dead worker still holding a leaf in its jaws - HD 影片檔
The leaves are used to cultivate a fungus garden within their nest on which the ants feed. The minims are probably cleaning the trail at the nest entrance. They also ride on the leaves to protect the leaf carrying workers from a phorid fly which parasitises them.
