Weberameisen bauen Nester, indem sie Blätter zusammenrollen und -falten und den Zwischenspalt mit der Spinnseide der Larven verweben. Zwischenräume werden durch Brückenbildung aneinanderhängender Ameisen bewältigt. Trophobiose (Ernährungssymbiose) mit Buckelzirpen, die einerseits geschützt und gepflegt werden, andererseits wegen ihres Honigtaus "gemolken" werden.
