Oecophylla smaragdina
I wanted to know what was curled up in a banana leaf on a tree in the garden so unfurled it and found this. The first photo was taken at 9:14 and the second and third photos taken at 14:00

Weaver ants.
I have never seen their queen before.
Looks like there are eggs, even one in the queen's mandible.
I guess so! Are these Fire Ants?
A new queen for red ants..they gonna build new colonies right?
