After much long and hard work, the
        
        
          highway becomes straight and smooth as
        
        
          if flattened by a special tool. Attas walk
        
        
          towards their nest on this path,
        
        
          hiding under big pieces of leaves,
        
        
          which they hold in their tightly
        
        
          clamped jaws."

          Did you say they
        
        
          hide under leaves? Why do
        
        
          attas feel the need to hide
        
        
          under leaves?
        
        
          The Ant :
        
        
          Attas have to
        
        
          be careful sometimes, Omar.
        
        
          For instance, medium-sized
        
        
          atta workers spend almost
        
        
          all day away from the nest,
        
        
          carrying leaves. It is
        
        
          difficult for them to
        
        
          protect themselves when
        
        
          they are doing that,
        
        
          because they carry the
        
        
          leaves in their jaws,
        
        
          which they normally
        
        
          use for self-defense.
