What fungus do leafcutter ants eat?
Fungus is what a colony of leafcutter ants [Attaspp, Acromyrmex spp] eat. That's why they slice out leafy chunks with their scissor-sharp jaws. The leaves are so important to growing the underground fungus that small but ferocious guard ants ride atop the leaves that the cutters bring back to the colony. A colony may have 5 million members in a 25 foot [7.62 meters] nest that's divided into hundreds of small rooms.

What kind of abiotic and biotic resources do leafcutter ants need?
The resources that any species needs are far too many to list in detail. After reading the following, it will probably do you good to try to add new items to the list yourself. 1: Abiotic resources would include water, air, sunlight (if you think that ants do not need sunlight, ask yourself why leafcutter ants do not occur in caves or even in deep valleys where the sun does not shine), suitable soil, (bear in mind that soil is only partly abiotic), temperature and climate in general (ask yourself how many reasons there are why leafcutter ants occur only in the tropics) and nutrient minerals such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, to mention just three. 2: Biotic resources would include enough food plants for the ants to gather, and enough of the right kinds of fungi to digest their collected leaves and convert them into suitable food for the ants. It also might include enough natural enemies to keep the natural enemies of the ants under control. Ants can't spend all their time fighting anteaters and Phorid flies. Now you try to add a few to those 2 lists.
