Did you know that bigger leaf-cutting ants often give rides to smaller workers? That's right! They often carry tiny ants in the pieces of cut leaves, avoiding the attack of flies, their natural enemies. The flies – check it out! – they lay their eggs in the workers' ants' heads and they, after they develop, turn into larvae and eat the ants' heads – woe!
