Leaf-cutter ants are also known as parasol ants due to their unique behavior of carrying leaf fragments above their heads, resembling small parasols. These ants cut leaves and transport them back to their colonies, where they use the foliage to cultivate a specific type of fungus, which serves as their primary food source. The leaf-carrying behavior, along with their symbiotic relationship with the fungus, is a defining characteristic of these fascinating insects.

All ants are in the order Hymenoptera. That is the order of ants, bees, wasps and sawflies.

Termites are more like cockroaches than ants.

Is ants scientific name formadicide?
Not really. You have part of the idea, though the spelling is wrong. Spelling correctly is important in science, because if you spell a word wrongly it can look like a different word and what you say about it is then untrue. The word you want is Formicidae, which is the scientific name for the ant family. Now, when we say that the ant family is the Formicidae, it does not mean that they are all the same. There are over 10,000 species of ants already known. (If you don't know what species are, call them kinds, if you like.) Some kinds of ants look very much alike, many of them look totally different, some are the size of small pinheads, some about as big as wasps. We are pretty sure that there still are more than 10,000 species that we do not yet know. The family of ants is split up into about 20 subfamilies. One subfamily includes all the "driver" or "soldier" ants. Another includes the "bullet" ants that have some of the most painful stings known. Yet another includes the ants you find that make piles of leaves in the woods, and another includes the fire ants and the leafcutter ants. So you can see that when you have said that the scientific name for the ants is Formicidae, there still is a great deal that you can learn about ants. And it can be quite important!
