Weird Ants

Weird right? All female, self cloning ants. Kind of a funny coincidence that they amazonian ants too. What really caught my attention though was this little gem near the beginning(bold emphasis my doing):

This species - the first ever to be shown to reproduce entirely without sex - cultivates a garden of fungus, which also reproduces asexually.

That is some enders game shit right there. Are they connected to the fungus somehow? The article speculates about that at the end, apparently I'm not the only Orson Scott Card fan around. I ferget what they were called, piggies or something right? And didn't the new strain of buggers have a plant they connected with too? Forgetting, should probably read those books again, they were damn enjoyable.
