The Atta texana, is a fungus-farming ant species chiefly found in Texas and Louisiana in the U.S.. It can also be found in a few northeastern states of Mexico. [1] It harvests leaves from over 200 types of plants and is considered a major pest to the state's agricultural interests, as it can defoliate a citrus tree in less than 24 hours. Every colony has several queens and up to 2 million workers.
