I think it's fair to say I've always been an attractive man, just keep it hidden so average looking men like you, Jamie, don't feel too inferior!

So the Leaf Cutting ant display has grown so very well. Firstly the thing to say is that they have managed to keep all 8 of the colonies thriving!! No losses. Amazing.
Secondly they have all 4 of the Atta colonies on public display. I do not know of any other facility in the world that has 4 large attas on display!

Some pictures:

You might not see this very clearly but there were a lot of ants in this walkways

and a load of ants in all of the 4 feeding tanks:

The nest area was filled with fungus, each nest has three very large fungus gardens.

All in all a very pleasing return to this exhibit. Everything is done so well and precisely.
