Weaver ants or green ants (genus Oecophylla) are eusocial insects of the family Formicidae (order Hymenoptera). Weaver ants are obligately arboreal and are known for their unique nest building behaviour where workers construct nests by weaving together leaves using larval silk. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weaver_ant

Linking structure between two 'rooms' of leaves in a weaver ant nest site. The genus that include weaver ants has been around at least as long as modern mammals, so that's since the Eocene, about 56 million years ago.

A little OOF, but i like the lighting and the colors between the ants and plant.

a random walk observing weaver ants on one lazy evening. One big breakfast (looks like tree hopper to me) for mama queen

Lady sorting Angkrong (Weaver Ants) and their eggs. The Formic Acid that the ants use for defense is what makes the desirable for Khmer cuisine.

The front railing of our cabin was frequented by these green ants, and every now and then they brought along a friend.

Oecophylla sp.

I discover this Weaver Ant's nest half opened and decided do take a look inside. It was quite creepy: all the ants were dead, even the ones outside the nest seem to have be frozen in their positions.

I call this nest Pompei.
