You're right John, it's similar to the egg parasitoid. Thank you for patiently told me. :)

Dyah I had a look at the other picture of the eggs you pointed me to. Have a look at the following picture. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Anastatus-Nezara.jpg There are lots of species of Anastatus, and the can be quite difficult to tell apart - so I wouldn't assume that this picture is the same species as yours. But I still figure that they are not ants.

Thank you very much John for your information. I believe that the small animal that is black ant, already 3 times I watched these nymphs since they were eggs. These eggs: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/19709134

These are some kind of Hemiptera nymphs that are hatching from their eggs. I only make this comment to point out that the dark, out of focus bug standing on the leaf midrib at the very top of the picture is a parasitoid wasp (Chalcidoidea: Family Eupelmidae - possibly the genus Anastatus) that is checking out the eggs.
