Green tree ant nest




With the rain season getting prolonged,  ant families are making nests in the trees. The leaves are woven together with waxy waterproof filamentous strands by the Weaver ants. What an ingenious creation! They do not damage the trees or leaves like the bugs the coconut palms.
