User's notes
The sequence of images shows a mating Queen. The pair were initially sighted within a bush as seen in the fourth and fifth images. When disturbed by the camera the Queen dragged the male out of the bush and flew to the ground. The associated nest is reported in earlier sighting 4434375. Thanks to Marcus for the initial sighting of this mating Queen.
