> Why do they need to move?

To begin with it's a general question to learn and understand, as this is a public follow up thread with the idea to preserve it over time, who knows to whom, when or where that info can be useful.

We love the ornamental and even historic aspects of these trunks, as well as the #education'al aspects of them.

As you can see in the following picture, on the right alongside the tree, we simple use them placed up side down as they are, displaying their beauty to the eyes the beholder.
Actually in the case of this trunk, the initial intention was to load it right away onto the @bitpickup and transport it to the terrace of #laCasona, most likely for one of the corners, but the presence of the nest changed that, or at least the timetable for moving it.

Than there is always the investigating factor, like to say, to what extent can we use this event, this situation to document, find out and learn something while we are at it.

Specifying the species itself, would and should be most likely the next step. At a first glance it's save to state that this is the biggest kind of #ant we have seen over here #RioDeLaPlata, #Uruguay, #CerroLargo, a region of rocky hill's. Their color is kinda dark red, perhaps kinda brownisch red.

What details would you need to identify the species?
