@LaurenZarate, I guess the monsoons are heavy, not sure if that is the reason they make them so tall... It felt sort of crispy, firm and rough. Not sure how far it went down under the earth, but there must have been some sort of nest there.
What remarkable structures and very tall too! Are there heavy rains there for which they are making protectively tall entrance tubes? Is it fragile? Is it waxy? What are they making it out of?

Very cool pam! Definitely related to my spotting. Must be a different species that builds the lip on the top.

What fascinating constructions. Great spotting Pam. Please replace 'flies' with 'bees' :-)

I think you've found it with the stingless bee: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/684...
Wow! I want to say that those are some type of bee, possibly Tribe Meliponini. Fascinating structure!
I found these. http://stock-clip.com/video-footage/meli...
