Trying for some better photos of this microscopic red ant making its home in the crack of a Blakelys Red Gum, sealing itself in by covering up the cracks with plant material including stamens from the eucalypt flowers. Photos taken by my husband. Relates to https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4530567
