Well spotted Cath - they are pretty small! This could be Stigmacros brachytera, but the taxonomy for this genus is not good. Below is a link to S. brachytera for comparison. Cheers, Jon https://www.antwiki.org/wiki/Stigmacros_brachytera

Thanks Jon. That certainly looks like a possibility (although not in WA). Sorry the pictures aren't great but, as you say, it was very small!
