Hi Tim, could definitely be Monomorium/Chelaner, but also Pheidole. Cheers, Jon

unfortunately that was the only shot I got. They hid in their hole. Didn't like the torch? There are lots of Camponotus consobrinus here. The only other possible C. sp. I have is Sighting 4585750. I will keep a look out. I think I took the shot because they looked different to C. consobrinus, lacked the honey band.
