Hi Con, first photo is of Iridomyrmex sp, but photos 2&3 are of Camponotus aeneopilosus. Will you do them as two sightings? Cheers, Jon

Hi Jon, Thanks.
I have removed the Iridomyrmex sp. I have made a separate note in the forms for the study on I. purpureus so will not enter a separate photographic record in order to avoid duplication.
kind regards
Con
