User's notes
Location is approximate. I was thinking a Spiny ant or a Dolly ant??? They were under fallen wood, and when I first lifted it they all disappeared down a hole. A few minutes later I lifted it again, and they were not close to the hole, and just put their heads down as if hiding. Looks like remains of a larger ant there too.
