Thanks for asking question on the ants.
A little research on the web indicated that its the green tree ant and is commonly used as a way of pest control in cashew plantations.
I have created separate spotting for that

@Sigg. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction with respect to identification.
Perhaps someone else might know the exact species.
Have changed name on top
@bayucca
I had already found the info about misspelling on wiki and made correction on the top. Thanks for confirming though :).
@MartinL Thanks for the ID
@bayucca
Thanks for the classification.
Any idea how we can point out the exact species name.
@Sigg. Thanks for that information. Indeed looks like Mantis Shrimp.
Can you point out the exact species ?
@Chester
Elsewhere (on a different forum) the above bug has been suggested to be a pill
millipede (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pill_millip...) which are apparently very similar and can be confused with pill bugs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armadillidi...).
I am inclined to the pill millipede classification based on the look of the segments. Let me know what you think.
@Ashley, Suzzane.
Thanks for the information. I have updated notes and category, name accordingly.
