a random walk observing weaver ants on one lazy evening. Thousands of them in one place working in harmony with each others.

Very big size. Not very scientific description, I know :-)
She was walking around outside my home.
C'mon! Aren't these animals just fabulous?
Here they are around what looks like some kind on pupae attached to a twig.
I would like to know more about this.

This tough little weaver ant was trying very hard to reach for another branch. It tried for a while without success. It then took a walk around the leave that it was on and tried again. It failed a second time. Without giving up, it walked around the leave and tried a third time. And it was successful!

Found these ones near Oecophylla smaragdina's pathway.
The biggest one is more than 1cm long.
I wonder what happened here. It looks like a gruesome killing of a family thing.
[edit for updates]
A queen.
