Now this is 'in-tents' (pun intended), a man camping in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest has shared a TikTok video showing leafcutter ants destroying his tent and belongings.

The video was shared by Paul Rosolie, a conservationist and co-founder of Jungle Keepers.

He told Newsweek: "It was like a festival of all different insects because the leafcutter ants had made the hole and then the mosquitos had come in, and then somehow grasshoppers and moths and everybody had come in."

Leafcutter ants can carry 20 times their body weight, and cut and process fresh vegetation (leaves, flowers, and grasses) to serve as food.
