    Ernst, title says "Podomyrma adelaidae" but you requested "Podomyrma obscurior". Can you clarify which of the two you believe is correct? Posted 4 months ago

The Muscleman Ant

Podomyrma adelaidae is found throughout temperate Australia and is easily recognised by the pair of white spots on the gaster. Workers can be seen foraging on the trunks of eucalypts, particularly smooth- barked eucalypts.
