We supplied a Leaf Cutting Ant setup to Terra Natura Zoo in Benidorm about 4 years ago. I returned there a few months ago to check on them. I took some pictures but only had my phone with me so sorry for the extremely bad quality pictures. The fungus is at the bottom through the windows, then there are the fish in the water that serves as a moat. The ants feed on the islands where leaves are placed. I think you can see the ants in the first pictures cutting leaves. Other than that I am ashamed of these photos.
Set up in Benidorm
