Interesting! This is obviously the red weaver ant. In tropical Australia we have the green weaver ant, Oecophylla smaragdina. They make a tasty snack on a hot day, refreshingly lime-like.
Not my picture, I regret to say, but I hope people won't mind - in the interests of education.

At about 6 feet high, along the lake at Ranganthitoo, near Srirangapatna, on the Bengaluru-Mysore Highway, Karnataka. Date 26 December 2009 Is this commonly seen? On this plant? Which plant is it? Do ants build these nests along lakesides? The entire nest could have easily been snapped off and it would have gone into the lake. The lake pix is the scene below the nest.
