Hi all,

I need an ID on this little gal I found in Macs Cove, Victoria, AUSTRALIA.

1. I found her in Macs Cove, Victoria, Australia in light bush/scrub. It was a warm day 28c.

2. Found on the 20th February 2016
3. Found in light bushland/scrub.
4. She is 12mm long.
5. Her colour is medium to dark brown.. Her gaster is a yellow/gold colour.

Let me know what you think and feel free to share any care tips. I think she's semi claustral?

It is a dracula ant, so I suggest feeding her protien once she gets larvae. Surprisingly it says on antwiki that it is one of Australia's most common ant.
