Same as the other sighting, this is a standard(or minor) worker. Other ID is for a major. :)

I would also put C.eastwoodi as a possible contender.

Hi Trevor, an interesting queen, but not sure about the genus. Cheers.

Hi Cath, these don't look like Pheidole, but they could be one of several other genera including Doleromyrma and Arnoldius - these small ants are hard to be sure about unless you have them under the microscope. Cheers, Jon
