Texas Leafcutter ants harvest the leaves of plants, to use as fertilizer to encourage the growth of a specialized fungus, that serves as the ant colony’s food source.
The Texas leafcutter ant can be discovered in south-central Texas, from San Antonio to Dallas. This species of ant, may occasionally be found east-ward, extending into Louisiana.
