@WendyEM Hi Wendy, Like you I was also misled about this ID. The lizard is the pink-tailed worm lizard however, when I read the author notes, he is actually asking for the ID of the ants.

It is Aprasia parapuchella. I tried to verify but a glitch in the system blocked it.

@JonLewis can you please help Rob out with the ant ID

Thanks. I'm pretty sure they're Black Tyrant Ant Iridomyrmex rufoniger based on my investigations, but was keen to have the expert take on it. Cheers
