Oecophylla smaragdina is a species of arboreal ant found in tropical Asia and Australia. These ants form colonies with multiple nests in trees, each nest being made of leaves stitched together using the silk produced by the ant larvae.
Workers and major workers are mostly coloured orange. Workers are 5β6 millimetres (0.20β0.24 in) long; they look after larvae and farm scale bugs for honeydew. Major workers are 8β10 millimetres (0.3β0.4 in) long, with long strong legs and large mandibles. They forage, assemble and expand the nest. Queens are typically 20β25 millimetres (0.8β1.0 in) long, and normally greenish-brown
