Leaf-cutter ants are one of the few species that practice a form of agriculture. These ants cut pieces from leaves, bring them back to their colony, and use them as a substrate to grow a specific type of fungus. This fungus serves as the colony's primary food source.⬇️1/2

This is a great demonstration of how color affects energy absorption. Black absorbs light across the entire color spectrum, turning it into heat. This happens because of the pigments' chemical structure, often involving carbon double bonds. ⬇️1/2
