Hi Jon, I wont put all the ants I photographed up today, but there were good numbers of Gold-tailed Spiny ants, Green-headed ants, gold-tailed sugar ants and plenty of meat ants. Also small black ants. Thanks.

Hi Christine, some warm calm days certainly seem to bring the ants out! These Notoncus ants seem to be very happy to be out and about at this time of year. Great photos. Cheers, Jon
