Tailor ants are experts at needlework-they actually sew their nests onto trees. The larvae secrete a silken thread from special glands. Worker ants carrying larvae on their heads move into position and bite neat holes through the leaf, passing the larvae back and forth like a little shuttle spinning thread, until the edges of the leaf are sewn together. Once the shell of the leaf-nest is ready, they place it on a suitable branch. Now the ants get busy constructing internal partitions and chambers until their nest looks something like a multi-storeyed apartment block. As soon as the nest is complete, the colony of ants moves in.
