Nest bee nests, a resource also targeted by the tropical hornet. Symbiosis, ranging from feeding on waste to obligate parasitism, is common within the nest. Ant nests alone support symbiotes spanning six classes of arthropods which includes 35 families just from the beetles. Nest A nest is a structure built by certain animals to hold eggs, offspring, and, occasionally, the animal itself. Although nests are most closely associated with birds, members of all classes of vertebrates and some invertebrates construct nests. They may be composed of organic material such as twigs, grass, and leaves, or may be a simple depression in
Green-head ant seeds they feed on approximately away from their nests in both unburned and burned habitats. In some cases, the seeds of "Adriana quadripartita" are dispersed much farther; the green-head ant accounts for 93% of all ants that collect these seeds and can disperse them as far as . One study shows that the green-head ant, along with "Aphaenogaster longiceps", removed the highest number of seeds and discarded them on top of their nest, with a few remaining several centimetres under the nest. Most seeds dispersed by the green-head ant and "A.longiceps" are eventually eaten by "Pheidole" ants. Since the seeds
