Red forest ants protecting century old cedar trees

ANTALYA, TURKIYE SEPTEMBER 23: Red forest ant nests can be seen in the roots of a cedar tree in Antalya, Turkey, September 23, 2025. Among the best-preserved pure cedar forests, the Ciglikara Forests, protected by the red forest ants with nests reaching up to 120 centimeters in height from harmful insects, diseases, caterpillars, lice, and insect eggs. Feeding on these, the red forest ants give the trees a chance to spread. They attract attention with their giant nests, which are usually built in fallen tree remains, reaching heights of 120 centimeters and lengths of up to 6 meters.
