Hi Jubeyjubes, I think the orange and black ant is probably a species of Melophorus, but can't be quite sure from the pictures. The mainly black ant with the golden tail which is incidentally in the photos is Camponotus aeneopilosus (which you probably already knew!). Cheers, Jon

Thank you John! I will put another attachment on my phone and see if I can get the orange and black guy (the focus of my endeavours) with more detail. Just make this as unidentifiable if you need! I will post some more.
