Oecophylla smaragdina
A lone sentinel weaver ant guarding a long bladed leaf of another plant at the base of a colony tree. Other leaves were similarly guarded.
Large semi-urban yard/garden adjacent to a disturbed remnant patch of forest.
These ants are very defensive/aggressive. They have a distinct odor. Grateful for a confirmation of species ID.
