Leaf Cutter Ants

These ants are perfect harmless to humans, but are not harmless to plants. They will cut up the leaves of plants and use the leave pieces to create a fungi. They are able to harvest leaves from one plant until that plant develops a certain toxin that they use to defend themselves. This toxin is bad for the ants, but as helped us produce many different products.
