Mogo with the Larsen

Last weekend I went back to Mogo creek with Allan.
The wildlife was reasonable with the local lace monitor still in residence.

Ant

Bee

Nice ant! :-) With your fancy ant-links, you should be able to name it ;-) Did you ever follow the link yourself? Not exactly the easiest page to navigate.

Not too bad, but bloody hard to work out what ant it is without a realy good knowledge of their anatomy.
Here is my poor attempt: http://anic.ento.csiro.au/ants/biota_details.aspx?biotaid=37400
At least I got the colour right.
I can get down to the right genus then go a little astray from there. I'm pretty sure it is Myrmecia anyway although someone may wish to correct me. http://anic.ento.csiro.au/ants/biota_details.aspx?biotaid=37361

to be honest mate, until you show me more photos I reckon all you saw was an ant and a bee.

I saw a lot of Allan, but I'm not sure any one else wanted to see that much so I kept those photos in my private collection.
