Oecophylla smaragdina
This is my first spotting in my 5 days Madai Trip after leaving Tawau (hometown). These large red ants (Oecophylla smaragdina) are carrying a dead common millipede (Trigoniulus corallinus) up a tree. This species of ants are called the Weaver Ants because they weave leaves together to build their ant nest.
Scavenge around St Peter Catholic Church in Kampung Kadazan, Kunak, Sabah. Their nest is on top of this tree which is the same species as http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/226...
>>>Map accuracy : 10km diameter.
