User's notes
The ant was moving quite fast around the trunk of a tree when sighted and there were no other ants seen nearby. Presumably a winged Queen.
The strong sunlight and camera flash have enhanced her colour.

This could be Podomyrma gratiosa, but it's difficult to be sure of the species. Cheers, Jon
