After completing her nuptial flight, the leafcutter ant queen detaches her wings, a one-time act marking the transition from a solitary flyer to a colony founder. This ritual is more than symbolic: her wing muscles are metabolized into energy, providing essential nutrients to lay her first eggs. Incredibly, a queen can live for over a decade and produce millions of offspring, all beginning with this moment of transformation. Wing scars left on her thorax serve as permanent proof of her mating and readiness to lead a colony.
At Forevergreen, we highlight nature’s quiet milestones to inspire awareness and action.
