HARUN YAHYA
Due to the symbiosis of
leaf cutter ants and fungi,
the ants obtain the protein
they need for nutrition
from the mushroom buds
they grow on leaves. Here
we see a mushroom gar-
den tended by ants.
1) Inside the nest, slightly
smaller workers chop
leaves into bits.
2)The next caste chews
these bits into pulp and
fertilizes them with de-
posits of enzyme-rich fecal
fluid.
3) Other ants apply the fer-
tile leaf paste over a base
of dried leaves in new
chambers.
4) Another caste hauls in
bits of fungus from older
chambers and plants them
in the leaf paste. Bits of
fungus spread on the leaf
paste like frost.
5) A teeming caste of
dwarfs cleans and
weeds the garden,
then harvests the
fungus for others
to eat.
