Atta Fabricius, 1805 is a genus of New World ants of the subfamily Myrmicinae.
Atta is one of the most spectacular of the attines, and colonies can comprise in excess of one million individuals.
Atta has evolved to constantly change foodplant, preventing a colony from completely stripping of leaves and thereby killing trees, thus avoiding negative biological feedback on account of their sheer numbers.
