This is the amazing moment an army of Leafcutter ants carried torn pieces of green leaves to use as materials for repairing their nests.

Insect enthusiast Jairo Are Leiva was amused when he saw the ants creating a busy “highway” in the middle of the forest in Costa Rica.

He said: ''I found the creatures on the ant highway while I was hiking. It was incredible. I tried to follow them but their path is complex and it was too far from the trail.''

Leaf-cutter ants are found across a wide area in Central and South America, from Mexico to Argentina. They build their nests in a variety of natural and man-made habitats, such as farms, plantations, or forests.
