Lydbrook, Forest of Dean, UK, 1996. As far as I can identify, Myrmica Rubra working on a dead worm. About 3mm in length.

Frankston, Victoria, Oz, 1994. Dolichoderus Scabridus? About 15mm in length.

Karwarra, Victoria, Oz, 1997. Myrmecia Forficata? At 30mm, the largest ant I've ever seen!

Arthur's Seat, Victoria, Oz, 1997. Myrmecia Pilosula? About 8mm long.

Arthur's Seat, Victoria, Oz, 2001. Rhytidoponera Metallica? About 15mm long.

Otway Lighthouse, Victoria, Oz, 1997. Myrmecia Nigriscapa? about 20mm long. This is what we in Britain think of as the standard Australian Bulldog ant.

Cairns, Queensland, Oz, January 2001. This is a queen ant, hence the wings, and I think it is a green tree ant (Oecophylla Smaragdina). Body length 25mm. It flew into the Kuranda light railway carriage and then flew off, so I presume it was still unmated.

Mount Lookout, Victoria, Oz, January 1997. Body size about 10mm. I think this is a species of Myrmeciinae, possibly Mandibularis? Any suggestions?

Mount Martha, Victoria, Oz, January 2001. I think it is a species of Odontomachus, but the book says they live in arid habitats. This ant walked into the surf, swam a bit and walked out again. It didn't seem to need to clean itself or recover from the ordeal, so I'm calling it the surfing ant, although I didn't spot a board.
