Hi Michael, can you remember if the posterior half of the gaster was black? It may be Myrmecia gulosa.

No Sam. This one was in a hurry to go up the tree and I couldn't get a better shot. I posted this photo because it was different from the ones I see most often, which have a black head and gaster.
