Thanks!! These look like mrymecia , except with flat jaws. They HAVE to be related. Just joking.

How do get such good photos????

I do have myrmecia, and their behavior are quite similar. In the way that both species are clearly aware of their surroundings and can learn to recognize things. However, I thing my myrmecia are a bit more dog-like than harpegnathos.
