Atta

genus

“Leaf-Cutter Ants”

On the Web

On Wikipedia

Atta is a genus of New World ants of the subfamily Myrmicinae. It contains at least 17 known species. Atta leaf-cutter ants are relatively large, rusty red or brown in colour, and have a spiny body and long legs. The three main castes within a nest are the queen, worker, and soldier. Only the queens and males have wings (alate), and these ants are also known as reproductives or swarmers. Although most of the ants in the nest are female, only the queens produce eggs. Queens are usually over 20 mm long.
