User's notes
Initially sighted at rest within a bush but the ant dropped straight into the undergrowth once disturbed by the camera. There appeared to be a tiny white insect on the outside of the right mandible, which can be seen in the third image and in closer detail in the final image. Possibly an unattached mite?
