In my area these ants are often called Rangrang ants, these ants are famous for their very large population in my area and sometimes even become the main inhabitants in one tree, in front of my house there is a very large mango tree and on top of the mango tree there are many colonies of Rangrang ants. Another unique thing is when these ants make their nests, namely by combining leaves using silk produced by their larvae, the size of their nests also depends on the number of their colonies. I myself used to really hate these ants because when I wanted to climb the mango tree I would definitely be attacked and bitten by these ants, but when I was an adult I realized that these ants have a very important role for the tree, namely to control or control leaf pests such as lice

I managed to find this ant on one of the wild plants behind my house, this ant is very active and very wild so it is very difficult to photograph it.
Okay friends, here are some pictures of this Rangrang ant
