Hi Liam, it looks a lot like Myrmecia simillima, but I can't be sure from the photo. Cheers, Jon

I can go back and try to get better pictures later if it helps

Thanks for the offer Liam, but it’s probably not critical as most Myrmecia in the region are not particularly rare or unusual. Cheers, Jon
