Phases of nest
building by weaver
ants... In the first
phase, ants pick the
right leaves on the
tree they plan to
settle in, and com-
bine them by pulling
from two sides.
Later on, they bring
their silk producing
larvae, as shown at
the bottom, and sew
the leaves together
by using them as
sewing machines.
