Myremecia pyriformis This winged individual was about 30 mm long and mostlikely a female as queens are somewhat bigger. Females can start a new collony without a Queen after mating . They are very alert and quite aggressive and can see you from about 1 m distance. Australia,Eamw ants,Fall,Geotagged,Myrmecia pyriformis Click/tap to enlarge Promoted
