Michael B we have discovered that there are at least two species of Coconut Ants in the ACT region, we need a close up of ants to tell them apart - one species seems to be associated with the small ant blue butterfly and the other may be associated with an even rarer (in the ACT) ant blue species

This is not a new location, just the one you visited with Suzi & me at Point Hut. So should I change the ID on the original sighting?

Thanks Michael - going through the sites and placing them into the appropriate species category is a job I have to do - your sighting is prompting me into action
