Oecophylla smaragdina
About 1 foot (30 cm) long.
This cocoon-like structure was hanging in a tree near our hut. All the leaves at the end of a small branch seem to be folded over and stuck to one another. What kind of insect made this?
Thanks S Frazier, I think this absolutely right. Now that I think back, there were several ants around the structure and on adjacent branches.
