Elongate twig ants in plant stem, La Isla Escondida, Colombia We&#039;ve seen this same phenomenon 7 years earlier in the Brazilian Amazon. These ants are nesting on a thickened part of the stem of a plant. In the Amazon, Elongate twig ants (Pseudomyrmex sp.) are known to nest like this. I&#039;m not that sure though that this concerns Pseudomyrmex sp., as they have peculiar two-segmented waists that I&#039;m able to match entirely. <br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/71776/elongate_twig_ants_in_plant_stem_-_closeup_la_isla_escondida_colombia.html" title="Elongate twig ants in plant stem - closeup, La Isla Escondida, Colombia"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2/71776_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1770854410&Signature=GFct1fVenBohdm7QC8tA9s1wp4U%3D" width="140" height="152" alt="Elongate twig ants in plant stem - closeup, La Isla Escondida, Colombia We&#039;ve seen this same phenomenon 7 years earlier in the Brazilian Amazon.
