Carpenter Ant (Camponotus sp) (6/6)

Hymenoptera: Formicidae

Camponotus sp  

I'm surprised to find that our light in an arid area of Mallee, spinifex and sand dune country in the Murray-Sunset National Park has attracted Water Boatmen.

Where the Water Boatmen have come from I have no idea as there is no body of water for many kilometres in any direction.

The local ants don't appear to be questioning their good fortune and cart any Water Boatman they come across off to the nest.
