Oecophylla smaragdina

Workers and major workers are mostly coloured orange. Workers are 5–7 millimetres (0.20–0.28 in) long; they look after larvae and farm scale bugs for honeydew. Major workers are 8–10 millimetres (0.3–0.4 in) long, with long strong legs and large mandibles. They forage, assemble and expand the nest. Queens are typically 20–25 millimetres (0.8–1.0 in) long, and normally greenish-brown, giving the species its name smaragdina (Latin: emerald).[2]
