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.
