Red ants, likely leafcutter ants (Atta or Acromyrmex species), are carrying green leaf pieces across a rough surface. They move in a line, over a small mound of soil, part of their nest-building or food-gathering activity. The background is blurred, suggesting a forest setting. The ants' segmented bodies and strong mandibles are visible as they work collectively. Leafcutter ants are known for their role in ecosystems as decomposers and their complex social structures. |
