The uniqueness of a simple construction

in #aceh7 years ago

Builders from this construction, which looks simple are those experts in weaving, a species of arboreal ant. Construction was made from leaves stitched together using silk from ant larvae. Because of its unique work in making the nest, then it was known as the weaver ant. But Acehnese called them: seureungga, a name, which seemed. more impressive a threat from this ant. It has a scientific name: Oecophylla smaragdina.

When and who those working this construction, know it through this source:

Nests are constructed during the night, with major workers weaving towards the exterior and minor workers completing the interior structure. (Read more)

And here are the pictures that I took in a mangrove area on the coast of Banda Aceh, and sorry if I did not dare to take pictures of the interior of its nest, because I know these ants do not like its territorial disturbed. What we have often experienced from these ants when they already feel threatened is something that is very troublesome and deterrent effect. Somehow, when they are threatened, they jump toward us, they will soon fulfill our body from hair to foot all the while kept biting. Really I do not want to make trouble with them, and better to keep a distance. They really grumpy.

Sort:  

They sound nasty. I have a dislike for biting or stinging insects.

haha ... yes of course, we dislikes, as they also do not like to be disturbed by us ... LOL. Thanks, @countryinspired.
