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.

Insects such as butterflies, beetles, ants, and grasshoppers can be found in the emergent trees of the Amazon rainforest. These insects have adapted to life in the canopy, where they may find food sources, shelter, and mates. The diverse range of insects in this layer play important roles in pollination, seed dispersal, and decomposition processes within the rainforest ecosystem.

The better question would be, do ants have brains?
Approximatly 968,000,000 or 968 Million ants. Note: this does not include the bombing in the american testing grounds
The main weapons of all the army ants are their jaws, especially the very large jaws of the major soldiers. There are several subfamilies of army ants, and some of subfamilies have stings as well. Some of the African army ants do not have stings and others do. The American army ants (Eciton) all have stings.
Ants and small organisms.
If ants are insects, then yes, they do eat ants. Well, since the African porcupine is an omnivore and the North American porcupine is a herbivore, only the African porcupine would eat ants and other insects. In fact, the insect is the only animal an African porcupine eats.
Red fire ants are not native to Greece. They endemic the North American south. They may be found further north, but it is not common.
Yes ants do produce ants to continue the family.

Leaf cutter ants live in subterranean colonies, where they have chambers that contain their fungus gardens. They forage above ground to cut leaves to bring back to the colony to cultivate more fungus. These ants are native to Central and South America but there are some species that can be found as far North as Texas in the United States.
