I came across a colony of Ooceraea australis by accident yesterday. I was kneeling to take some photos of Pheidole ants and these ants swarmed me and stung me. Landsborough, Queensland.

Starting this July I'm posting videos of my ants every week on youTube.

I like to make relaxing videos that capture the joy of watching ants.

If that sounds like your kind of thing... follow me >here<.

A colony of very pale Iridomyrmex that I found in Landsborough, Qld. No idea on the species. I like the look of them though, they really blend in to the sandy soil.
