The insects ; | have the habit of cutting small round; to | pieces about a quarter of an inch in | o | diameter from the leaves of trees, which they then carry to their burâ€"| rows; from that fact the species is also known as the leafâ€"cutting ant. | The process of stripping the trees of 7 their leaves is carried out methodiâ€" : cally. The ants on their predato:y | J expeditions, divide into two parties,f] one of which ascends the trees and I q cuts the leaves from their stalks, | q 1 / while the other party remains on the ground, seizes the leaves and cuts out | € the disks. Each ant, in carrying the,‘ | disk to its burrow, holds it over its ( fhead as a man carries an umbrella; , hence the term "umbrella ant." Acâ€"| / ‘| cording to a writer in the Field, the ; leaves are stored in underground burâ€" o |rows until they decay. By that time M A | they have become cevered with a kind | _ | of fungus that forms the food of L'.le.u | ants. In other words, the ants raise N mushrooms, and use the leaves for | g, | mushroom beds. In gardens umbrella | ye lants are very destructive, for they , | confine their attention to the most | 1. | valuable plants, and spare the weeds ca and poorer plants. They are especialâ€" . po ' ly fond of the leaves of orange trees, | , and will often strip a large tree in a ; 0 single night. Their underground ro burrows sometimes extend for miles, Ar and often undermine lawns and garâ€" bes dens. The ants also display enginâ€" | w eering skill in their surface manoeuâ€" | /3,) vers, for they make regular roads & across grassy ground by cutting down ‘ flip plant stalks and weeds that impede .
