I think so too, but am not confident. It has cute white feet, similar to those in Technomyrmex jocosus. Posted 2 years ago

        Oh, nice! But, nooo, don't go with my opinion, lol. I am not an expert in Aussie critters. If you have reason to think it's T. albipes, then feel free to add the ID. We can always change it if we learn otherwise. It is certainly a reasonable, educated guess. Posted 2 years ago

The White-footed Ant

''Technomyrmex albipes'', commonly known as the white-footed ant, is a species of ant first described in 1861 from Sulawesi, Indonesia by the British entomologist Frederick Smith. Invasive pest ants in Florida, previously identified as ''T. albipes'', have now been separated as ''Technomyrmex difficilis'', both forming part of a species complex with a worldwide distribution.
