Only one seen, and I bumped the leaf and lost it before I could get any better photos.

Hi Cath - and another new genus! Again, another ant generally seen on foliage during winter, and often seen foraging on tree trunks at night. The common name reflects the very alien-looking head shape, which you can see if you look them up on line. Cheers, Jon
