I adopted the leaf-cutter ant. There it is, very hard at work, cutting leaves, helping in the mutual relationship with fungi in the rain forest. I will soon be learning more about them and will definitely share my findings!

Tropical Rain Forest Animal
With the help of artistic block 3, we're trying to create a tropical rain forest mural in EC-64. Each student is responsible for drawing/painting one (or a portion of one) tropical rain forest animal or insect, representing all the different layers of the forest.
I adopted the leaf-cutter ant. There it is, very hard at work, cutting leaves, helping in the mutual relationship with fungi in the rain forest. I will soon be learning more about them and will definitely share my findings!
For the mural, I have painted three ants. They are a little bit bigger than its actual size. I will post pictures of the ants, as well as the mural once it is completed! In the mean time, here are some other images of leafcutter ants as well as videos offered by National Geographics.
