Most leaf cutters are tropical, but the Texas leaf-cutting ant is a serious crop pest in North America.* The army ants of the New World tropics and the driver ants of tropical Africa are carnivorous, nomadic species with no permanent nests. They travel like armies in long columns, overrunning and devouring animals that cannot flee their path; the African species even consume large mammals.they decompose dead things like worms on a sidewalk
