Assuming this is siting …895 to which you refer Jon. Can’t seem to search using numbers.
At this site in a brief search I did not see ants. Thought due to extent of old frass and size of log that it was worth recording. Will monitor these sites.

OK, thanks for the extra info. For now I’ll mark the record as inconclusive and we’ll see how it looks when the weather warms up. Cheers, Jon

Confirmed today no active coconut ants here. Couple of other stumps with old frass. One taken over by different ants will post separate record.
