Weaver Ant
Arboreal ant of tropical regions, also known as green ants. Humans who brush against their nests soon learn about their massed response and the discomfort they can give to intruders.
" The first phase in nest construction involves workers surveying potential nesting leaves by pulling on the edges with their mandibles. Once the edges of the leaves are drawn together, other workers retrieve larvae from existing nests using their mandibles. These workers hold and manipulate the larvae in such a way that causes them to excrete silk. They can only produce so much silk, so the larva will have to pupate without a cocoon. The workers then maneuver between the leaves in a highly coordinated fashion to bind them together. Weaver ant's nests are usually elliptical in shape and range in size from a single small leaf folded and bound onto itself to large nests consisting of many leaves and measure over half a meter in length."
