Texas Leaf Cutter
Atta texana · genus Atta
Overview
Native to the southern United States, Atta texana tolerates a slightly wider temperature range than its tropical cousins, making it a popular choice for education-focused exhibits that still want the scale and drama of a true Atta colony.
Care Notes
Fungus chamber at 23-26°C, humidity as close to 100% as possible. Very responsive to bramble and oat-based forage supplements.
