We spent a few days at Garner State Park (Tx) and found a leaf cutter ant colony almost under our camper. It was a lot of fun watching them storing/cleaning up for the coming winter. Out with the old and in with the new. It was a very busy colony and they let me lay down right next to their nest with no complaint. Very passive ants.
