Hi Natureguy, nice photos and a (sort of) new species for CNM! I say it's a sort of new species because when I look back at other sightings I have previously identified as Myrmecia piliventris, I see that some of them were actually Myrmecia fulvipes. Thanks for prompting me to be able to fix my previous error! Cheers, Jon
