After cutting out pieces of leaves, the ants carry them away holding the pieces over themselves, almost as if the leaf fragments are parasols, protecting the ants from the sunlight.

The energy transformation happening as leaf-cutter ants carry leaves involves converting chemical energy stored in the leaves into mechanical energy used for movement. The ants digest the leaves, releasing the stored chemical energy, which powers their muscles, allowing them to transport the leaf pieces back to their nest.
