Winged Queen Green Ant

Oecophylla smaragdina Fabricius, 1775, of family Formicidae, commonly called Weaver Ant, Green Ant, Green Tree Ant, and Orange Gaster.

This is an unmated winged queen ant. The queen ant starts the ants' nests/colonies. She flies and searches for mate/s. She can mate with one or a few males (one at a time) in the air, or on low vegetation, or on the ground. Once mated, she looks for a nest site, gets rid of her wings, seals herself into a small chamber and lays a small batch of eggs.

The coloration of this one is brownish with green abdomen. My previous spotting (spotted on the same day) has more greenish coloration - http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/23898027.
