Jack-fruit leaf nest

Close to our office building is a jack-fruit tree about 50' tall. Near the tree top are several ant nests.

Closer look at one nest. This nest could be made of 30 to 35 leaves. The white material must be the binding material.

Ants are not just great explorers, they are expert builders too.
