Prachuap Khiri Khan, Thailand--This weaver ant is drawing the edges of leaves together to make a nest. In a matter of minutes this ant might be joined by a hundred other workers in order to complete the job. The edges of leaves are cemented together with silk that is sqeezed from ant larva which are returned to the nursery when their silk is depleted.
