Oecophylla smaragdina "green"

These specie lives in trees where they build their nests between leaves. This is the green variant from Australia. Larger colonies should be offered more than one tree. They waeve leaves at team work which will be used as homebase or louse-cultivation room. They never nests within soil, and they use their own brood (larvae) to weave.
