Maybe an ant. It was digging a hole and eventually vanished covering the hole with the disturbed earth.

Well spotted - an Iridomyrmex queen, newly mated and digging a nest to begin her life as the founder of a new ant colony.

I was really pleased to see this because we often see small patches of disturbed earth and sometimes it is beetles or crickets excavating but this time it wasn't.
