Discover the fascinating world of Oecophylla smaragdina, also known as Asian weaver ants. 🐜🌿 These incredible insects can be found in various locations across Asia and Australia. In West Bengal, India, witness the queens founding a new nest and diligently tending to their precious eggs. Meanwhile, in Malaysian Borneo, these industrious weaver ants showcase their remarkable construction skills by holding leaves together during nest building. But it's not just about teamwork and architecture for these ants. In Kubah National Park, Sarawak, Borneo, a swarm fiercely attacks a Finger-print ant that dared to cross their path. Talk about defending their territory. Similarly, in Queensland's Wet Tropics World Heritage area along the Daintree River in Australia, green tree ants stand guard against any intruders who dare approach their leafy nest. The relationship between Oecophylla smaragdina and other species is truly intriguing. They provide protection for parasitic butterfly pupae during development while benefiting from food provided by these clever hitchhikers. It's a mutually beneficial partnership. In Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, get up close with these weaver ants as they pose for an impressive portrait. Their unique features are captivating. And don't miss them showcasing their adaptability on barbed wire fences - proving that no obstacle is too challenging for them. Oecophylla smaragdina never ceases to amaze us with its remarkable behaviors and abilities. From building nests using silk-glued leaves to defending territories with unwavering determination - they truly exemplify the wonders of nature.
