Ant Mastodon, can you ID this little lady? Spotted in the Glass House Mountains, south east Queensland.

I'm fairly sure it's a Spiny Ant from the genus Polyrhachis, but not sure if the species is P. ammon, P. brisbanensis, or something else.

Taken with an iPhone 13 mini, through a generic 10x botanical loupe. #AntsOfMastodon #Albania #Europe
Saw a whole bunch of ants carrying a grasshopper on a fence while out walking. Really cool to watch them coordinate with the huge payload! No clue what kind of ants these are tho. #ants #antsofmastodon

Hi, @futurebird! What do you think of the cutest flatmates I ever had? They are around 1.5mm long and help me clean the kitchen every day... could you help in determining their species?

Frantic activity continues at the cone #ant compound. They are making a network of tunnels.

The species is Dorymyrmex bureni and they are the most tiny frantic ants that I keep. It's a big challenge keeping them inside an enclosure.

Tiny ants love making sandcastles.

Au retour de vacances la gyne est désormais accompagnée de larves et de nymphes en cocon, tout semble bien se passer. Hormis le fait qu'elle ai conservé ses ailes. #antsofmastodon #myrmecology #fourmis #myrmecologie #ants
Je l'ai mise tranquille dans un placard. Ce matin, je la sors pour regarder et je vois qu'elle a pondu ses premiers œufs #antsofmastodon #myrmecology #fourmis #myrmecologie #ants
Il y a trois jours j'ai trouvé un couple de fourmis en pleine fornication. Ni une, ni deux, j'ai récupéré la jeune gyne. #antsofmastodon #myrmecology #fourmis #myrmecologie #ants #antsof #antsofmastodon #myrmecology #fourmis #myrmecologie #ants #antsof
