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.

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.
