User's notes
Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting of these ants. They were swarming in a frenzy around the many winged Queens that were leaving a nest. The Queens were larger than the 5mm to 12mm size range of the ants generally.

Hi Tim, thanks for yet another new species. This one is pretty common, especially during the cool months, generally foraging on trees.
Hi Michael, thanks for updating the taxonomy - I tried several times and just got "We are busy" messages.
Cheers, Jon

Hi Jon
I guessed you had that problem. We are having some software problems at the moment. Hopefully it will improve soon.
