If these ones are really shiny.. then it might be the same species as the ants that I found (fell into ther nest). They showed this behaviour to, not really cuttting leafs, but chewing em up and walking back with a ball of green pulp in their jaws.. Might be fungus growers. They build their nest nex...

well I posted this one more because of the colours / comp than sharpness (on the right spot)

I fell "into" their nest when I went out to get some raspberry for my phyllium to eat.. went straght home to get my camera... the critters move a lot faster than the normal black ants at my house.. and are shinier to.. about 5...
