Ted Schultz, curator of ants with the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, holds a lab nest of a lower fungus-growing ant while standing next to a lab nest of a higher fungus-growing leaf-cutting ant, underscoring the difference in agricultural scale and complexity between these two groups.
