Insect appreciation πŸ¦‹ Release of the bull ant video

Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia. Caught and released this bull ant which came inside my place. See them most days in warm weather. They are solitary hunters. I have seen them prey on other insects.

It has been warming up now that it’s spring time here. My earlier post had someone saying it was a queen with wing scars, but I think it might just have some cobwebs from crossing the shed and house floor. We usually get the flying ants in late summer? Any thoughts?
