Sorry Jason, can’t see this one well enough for an ID, though it could be a Technomyrmex. Cheers, Jon

Hi Alison, thanks for the record. Myrmecorhynchus emeryi is not often recorded, though is widespread. It is a polymorphic genus, having workers of various sizes. The small workers are most commonly seen, but this is a media or major worker. Cheers, Jon
