Great capture Steve.
Leaf Cutter Ants are another icon of the Neotropics.
They grow a fungus on the leaf material they collect. These guys are also among the major contributors to the nutrient cycling in the rainforest.
Very nice dof, colours and details.

Take care.

Steve fantastic image. The composition and saturation are incredible. The detail and sharpness of this image is impressive.
On a side note I'm tinkering with the idea of visiting ANWR. Ever been? I'm assuming you have. If you're around maybe I can hit you up for some advice on the area via email.

Jim, I've been in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge a number of times. My wife has a mountain named for her there (Mount Mary). Her father spent time there in the early 50's doing research for two books he wrote, birds of the arctic and mammals of the arctic. He named several geographic features for his daughter, son, and wife. ANWR is a beautiful area, but it is quite costly to go there, as you must charter a plane (roundtrip around $5-6000), I'd be happy to give you any advice. Contact me directly: steve@naturephotography.net

This is amazing. They are almost like little carpenters sawing through the leaf. The colours are stunning and the detail is superb. Wonderful image. Cheers - Ann :)

Very nice macro shot! I guess they're using the leaves for their bathroom tile design.
