The workers exhibit a range of sizes and shapes, with up to 10-20 distinct forms. The smallest workers, known as minims, tend to the fungus garden, while medium-sized workers, or mediae, cut and transport leaves. The largest workers, called majors, are responsible for defense. Minims also play a role in cleaning leaves of parasites before they enter the nest.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-3937885087 {\n  font-size: 1.2rem;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1415474597\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"557\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antcube.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Capture-decran-2024-07-31-a-08.59.40.png?fit=1020%2C557&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antcube.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Capture-decran-2024-07-31-a-08.59.40.png?w=1437&amp;ssl=1 1437w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antcube.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Capture-decran-2024-07-31-a-08.59.40.png?resize=733%2C400&amp;ssl=1 733w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antcube.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Capture-decran-2024-07-31-a-08.59.40.png?resize=1400%2C764&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antcube.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Capture-decran-2024-07-31-a-08.59.40.png?resize=768%2C419&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antcube.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Capture-decran-2024-07-31-a-08.59.40.png?resize=18%2C10&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/antcube.shop\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Capture-decran-2024-07-31-a-08.59.40.png?resize=510%2C278&amp;ssl=1 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1415474597 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" style=\"margin-top:20px;\"><h2 class=\"section-title section-title-normal\"><b aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" >Waste Deposits and Graveyards<\/span><b aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\t<div id=\"text-204213556\" class=\"text\">\n\t\t\n\n<p>Atta ants are highly organized, even in their waste management.
