Hi @kasiaaus, great photos of such a small ant, but there are a number of small ants like this that are hard to tell apart without a microscope, even to the subfamily level. Appreciate the effort though! Cheers, Jon

Thank you Jon. Is there no point taking ant photos or just no point photographing small ones?

The very small ants are very hard to ID from a photo, but anything about 4 mm or bigger is usually able to be identified with a good photo (like those you take). Cheers, Jon
