Figure 1 in A preliminary study of nest structure and composition of the weaver ant Polyrhachis (Cyrtomyrma) delecta (Hymenoptera: Formicidae)

Figure 1. Lateral view schematic illustrations of the internal chamber arrangement of three nests of Polyrhachis delecta weaver ants. Chambers are labelled 1–7. Nests were suspended from vegetation at the top and thick black lines show the core arrangement of leaves, which were divided into chambers through construction with larval silk (thin lines). Sections with wavy outlines in grey on the outer surface of the nest indicate areas constructed from carton. Internal structures with dashed lines indicate the position of internal 'girders'. Nest openings are portrayed oriented towards the lower right of each nest.
