Magnetic Island - Lunch with a local

I was told that Green Ants can give a nasty bite. So I was a little
perturbed to have one right in front of me, on the table at the
Bikini Tree restaurant.

On a short coastal walk, I also found one of their ingeniously
constructed hollow nests formed from leaves that had fallen from a
tree to the ground. Apparently, these can get as big as footballs.

I bought Bec a small sculpture of one too made from wire and beads.

 There are still some ants visible on the top edge of the nest. 

 My little friend posed for this shot and was safely, for both of us, gently relocated.
