Oecophylla Smaragdina

Oecophylla Smaragdina

Oecophylla smaragdina (common names include Asian weaver ant, weaver ant, green ant, green tree ant, semut rangrang, semut kerangga, and orange gaster) is a species of arboreal ant found in tropical Asia and Australia. Weaver ants live in trees (they are obligately arboreal) and are known for their unique nest-building behavior where workers construct nests by weaving together leaves using larval silk. Weaver ants prey on small insects and supplement their diet with carbohydrate-rich honeydew excreted by small insects (Hemiptera). Weaver ant workers exhibit a clear bimodal size distribution, with almost no overlap between the size of the minor and major workers. Workers and major workers are mostly coloured orange. The major workers are approximately 8-10 mm (0.31-0.39 in) in length and the minors are approximately half the length of the majors. Major workers forage, defend, maintain, and expand the colony whereas minor workers tend to stay within the nests where they care for the brood and 'milk' scale insec
