Ants are great athletes in proportion to their size.They can lift a weight four hundred times their own weight.Theoretically a five-pound ant could easily lift a ton.The most skillful farmers in the insect world are the small,heavily armored parasol ants.They work at night and it is nothing for them to strip a large tree at a time,marching off with bits of leaf held over them like parasols.Surprisingly enough,these ants do not eat the vegetation they got.Rather they use it as raw material for their remarkable underground gardens,which they tend themselves.The shreds of the leaves are literally chewed into a rich compost which is used to strengthen the garden where a thread-like fungus is cultivated.This species of fungus is their own source of food.Included in the extraordinary parasol ant society are tiny garden workers,and slightly bigger workers who dig the interconnecting chambers of the hive.The parasol queen ant,more than one hundred times the size of the garden workers,is waited upon hand and foot by hundreds of her citizens.
