What is the scientific name for Leaf cutter ant?
Acromyrmex and Atta
Are leaf cutter ants omnivores?
Fungus for larvae and sap for adults are what leafcutter ants eat.Specifically, the ants in question (Acromyrmex and Atta spp) cut and transport fresh flowers, grasses and leaves. The fresh vegetation feeds colonies in the fungal family Agaricaceae. Leafcutter ants grow antimicrobial bacteria on their backs to keep the fungi pest-free and tasty. They imbibe the sap from foliage while foraging.
What ant makes its own garden?
Amazonian rainforest and leaf-cutter ants are ants that make their own gardens. The first-mentioned insects inject fatal formic acid into saplings other than Duroia hirsuta in order to ensure species-specific food sources and nest sites for their life cycles and natural histories. The second-mentioned insects (Atta and Acromyrmex spp) use compost to grow edible fungi.
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.

These ants have complex social structures and are among the most advanced insect societies, exhibiting division of labor and cooperative foraging. Their mutualistic relationship with the fungi allows them to thrive in diverse environments, playing a crucial role in their ecosystems by contributing to nutrient cycling and plant growth.
