re ant
Thats a Myramica sp
great looking ant,we have them here,just outside
our gate,i i have put 4 posts around there nest,so
it does'nt get run over with lawn mower,and it remains
protected.
They have a nasty nip,but from memory not a posion.
I caught one in my bug catcher when i was a child,it escaped
and bit my sister,she really cried a lot,but is still alive,
but has'nt spoken to me ever since.I think there is a
species in this genus down in Victoria or Tassie,thats a bit
more nasty.i will check entomological book.
Fine capture,well done
