Besides foraging for grasses, the so-called grass-cutter ants, such as Atta capiguara (Hym., Formicidae, Attini), have shown, in the laboratory, a high preference for dicots including Acalypha spp. This preference has also been observed in Atta laevigata, a dicot- and grass-cutter species.

Dynamics of physical trail construction and of trail usage in the leaf-cutting antAtta laevigata [PDF]
Leaf cutting ants of the genus Atta build long lasting physical trails to exploit the vegetation around their nest. In this paper we investigated the dynamics of physical trail construction and usage in the leaf-cutting ant Atta laevigata. We assessed the average duration of physical trail construction in a pasture environment and estimated the impact ...
