Side note, I believe I am still the only person with DSLR photos of a live F. argentea queen, so there's a good challenge for someone this year!

A Myrmecia comata that I found on the weekend. This is the first time I have seen one of these ants. I could only get the one photo as it was halfway up a tree.

A Polyrhachis femorata from my backyard in Queensland, Australia. These ants are nocturnal and live in trees and I have found them 2000 km away in Victoria as well.
