RE: Broad-leaf Resin Trees With Miniature Metropolises

Those ants are really impressive. To make such a colony atop a tree like that is certainly not easy. If scaled up to human construction then its a monumental task—just like the pyramids. Though I found there way of using larvae as silk dispenser quite amusing and definitely smart. In a way isn't this how we humans use tools? Great read by the way. #kryptonia

The strength of the nests is impressive, likening the build to pyramids and man is how I felt when first seeing them. Using what you have to build, a great lesson @chrislyr
