@Hernandez Thanks for asking question on the ants. A little research on the web indicated that its the green tree ant and is commonly used as a way of pest control in cashew plantations. I have created separate spotting for that http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/376926002

@Hernandez No idea about the anys. Perhaps need to create a separate spotting page to identify that.

@Neil Thanks for comment. I'd never put so much thought into cashews myself, until I stumbled upon this tree during one of my travels.

Very interesting, Vishal. I guess I never put much thought into where cashews came from or what they looked like prior to the supermarket. Good photos, and the links are very informative. Cheers for that :-)
