Central American leaf-cutting ants, primarily belonging to the genera Atta and Acromyrmex, are known for their unique behavior of cutting and transporting leaves to cultivate fungi, which serves as their primary food source. 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.
