These specimens appear to have overrun a sapling's leaves and branches when this photograph was taken. Even though the sapling appeared to have been flowering (given that yellow flower blossoms were found on the upper part of the plant), these ants chose to hide on the bottom branches of the said sapling. It is unclear as to why they chose to climb to such a high position, given that the branches were swaying a relatively constant breeze.

Saw it during the Campus BioBlitz. Living at the garden besides LKK building. I found it at a tree base, moving around with other individuals. Oecophylla smaragdina is a weaver ant commonly found in Hong Kong. It is native species. The one observed was a worker, orange in colour, with strong legs and large mandibles. It will bite if you disturb him.
