A stylized entomological illustration shows a leafcutter ant (tribe Attini) carrying a cut leaf fragment in its mandibles. The organism, an insect (order Hymenoptera, family Formicidae), is depicted with head, mesosoma (thorax), gaster (abdomen), six legs, and segmented antennae. Within the colony-level hierarchy of social insects, workers harvest foliage to provision a mutualistic fungal garden used for nutrition. This represents an adult arthropod in terrestrial habitats; specific species cannot be determined.
