Hey Nnnnsic,

Wow, two ant pix in the one day - I'm in heaven :D .

This ant is Myrmecia brevinoda and I believe Rel recently had quite a close encounter with one! These guys are big and aggressive and have a nasty sting. If you think the jaws look big, that's not the end you should be worried about - the jaws are just used to hold on while they stab you with their long sting. Very painful (I know from experience).

Wow Leigh - these latest posts are a huge departure from your usual subject matter! Good job too. That last one is a cracker. Look forward to more.

:)

Nice 4th shot! Were these hand held?
