On a whim this spring I dropped a couple of Mephisto mystery seeds. My yard is full of all kinds of bugs and critters and I've given up any serious attempts to grow outdoors.
A couple of helpers showed up this year:
--- great stuff mates! 
...you snapped some fine pics too man, well done,...
... those little wasps are awesome! ..and mighty they are indeed,...
bite-sting, bite-sting,... So in classic Mother Nature irony, their worst enemy is guess what? -- tiny parasitic wasps!.... them, and the freaky-ass fungal infection that zombies them into climbing up to the top of a plant, latching on and dying, then sprouting insane looking mushroom outta their heads! 
...f'ing-A, what a way to go,... Anyway, the leaf cutter ants have several castes (body/duty types), and one of them is a super-mini version who's entire purpose is to ride on the other bigger ants and defend against these wasps! 
>> Don Skelly, I love those Buddha and bugs moments-
best example I can think of on that is with the most feared, take-all-comers, unstoppable predators in the America's jungles-- Army ants! They will kill and butcher anything they can take down or can't get away, regardless of size,...people may die first of suffocation because they are crawling into the airways-
After going down a rabbit hole of the internet looking at bugs, I found this really moving video on cicadas:
