Thank you, Friends. Other than ant soup, I guess, any photographer over 
stepping on that log below the ant nest, could fall into the Ranganthitoo lake, 
and the mugger crocodiles could make their own sweet human soup.

  .. Interestingly., there 's  a sour soup prepared by the paste of these ants  
for which the tribal people of Karnataka, India are much fond of!!  And the 
ants are found to be higly acidic in taste...

    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.

    Photograph of ant nest by bringing several leaves together. 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.
