Oecophylla, commonly known as weaver ants, are a species of arboreal ants found in tropical regions. They are known for their unique ability to construct intricate nests by weaving leaves together using silk produced by their larvae. These ants exhibit a highly organized social structure, with different castes performing specific tasks within the colony. Oecophylla ants are also known for their aggressive behavior and efficient hunting techniques, making them effective predators of other insects.
