Ant Behaviour

These ants had built their nest inside a fallen tree but it is the first time I have seen any of the species build such a strange entrance to it. Has anyone seen them do something like this before?
They had also taken grass and covered the opening in the wood.
On parting some of the grass, I found that they had a lot of larvae inside.
