May be a little late to the party but this wasn’t there when I checked the site a few weeks ago. Seems like it’d be perfect for arboreal species or species with cooperative hunting behaviour like pheidole and crematogaster.

Definitely a cool looking nest. I wonder if it would be a suitable home for weavers. Possibly if the chambers were larger and fewer than it might be something.

Currently: Considering moving to Australia
Reason: Myrmecia
