Nice image kaling. i think these are weaver ants and they are weaving leaves togather for nest building.

as far as snap is concern..... Nice Macro.
In nature every this is made with some purpose......
Those big red ants Kills the insects which are harmfull for the growth of the tree trunk...... This is what I have observed on our mango trees.... The trees with chemical insecticide yields less testy mangos as compaired to the one with these natural insecticide..... Big Red ant (I dont know what the scientific name is.):001_rolleyes:
