Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand--These weaver ants, sometimes called tent ants are working together to bend a leaf in order to build a tent like nest in the tree. They squeeze young ant larva to get a silky glue to join the leaves together. Farmers in Thailand will sometimes tie a string from a tree that's infested with harmful insect to a tree housing weaver ants so that the ants will eleminate the pest insects.
