Interesting ant Steve. Correct ID to Polyrhachis, but I don't know the species. I'll try to find out at some stage! Jon

Hi Jon, thanks for the ID. Great that we can add a new Ant species to CNM. If you were to review the sightings under Polyrhachis sp. (genus) you might find more P.femorata, there appears to be 5 other sightings with the same or very similar characteristics (orange upper legs).
