@JonLewis Hi Jon, I recognise the primary ant but I'm curious about the smaller ant clinging to the hind leg. Held on as the ant climbed further up the tree.

@AlisonMilton Hi Alison, I’d say it was a tenacious major of Colobopsis gasseri. Cheers, Jon

@JonLewis thanks. Should I post a separate ID for it? It was very tenacious

@AlisonMilton Hi Alison, I think the ID is probably not sure enough to put it up as a seperate sighting. Cheers, Jon
