Hi Nate - you are pretty strong on the ant IDs! For this group of Myrmecia I don't try to ID to species via photos due to the very subtle differences between them. Cheers, Jon

Yes, I love my ants! I've found a colony of M. impaternata that's been verified in Aranda Bushland. I've got loads of photos to upload and you'll see the M. impaternata as part of it. Just have to get around to it
