Paper Wasp Nest. You will find plenty of ants crawling over it, if you zoom this photo. Need not be so in other nests.
It was found on a tree in a coffee plantation.

Your welcome, Hari Prasad V N....
Thank you, Christine, for the ID.
Thank you, Maplemoth.
A beautiful photo....
Nice spotting! Looks like an ant raid on a paper wasp nest. They steal the larvae and pupae. The wasps don't tend to fight back against the ant blitzkrieg.
