Thank you Kate Sandiford for confirming the id of this species for us General Species Information: Found on Ellura (in the Murray Mallee, SA) and elsewhere There are two specimens here, one smaller than the other. While it's possible they are different species, we suspect they are a different hierarchy of worker. Depending on the species, these heirarchies can consit of minor, medium & major workers. Major workers are also known as soldier ants. | |||||
