Hi Tammy, do you have any more detailed photos of these ants? This could be a Coconut Ant (Papyrius sp.) but I can't be sure from the photo. Cheers, Jon

Hi Jon, I will load a video which might help. There was no coconutty smell, but not sure if that's diagnostic.

Hi Tammy, thanks for loading the video - they were certainly pretty excited! Unfortunately I still can't see the ants well enough to be sure of the ID. Cheers, Jon
