Nicely captured, hope you didn't get bitten in the exercise.

We call them Jackjumpers down here, ours are about 15mm long; our inchman is a larger slower ant and doesn't jump. You can usually see them on the ground because their pincers are quite a light brown as you've captured. Don't know about your species but our jackjumpers will deliberately head for you from metres away to bite.
