Here's how I worked it out
Stamens on one side of carpels; carpels 2, usually hairy
Mature flowers conspicuously stalked
Leaves with a blunt acute to rounded apex; carpels hairy
All or some stamens erect (i.e. not tightly appressed to the carpel surface and appear like a 'hand-of-bananas')
Erect or rounded shrubs to c. 1 m high
Fascicled hairs sparse or moderate on calyx and/or leaves and on distrinct fleshy stalks or bumps

~7mm long. Minor Worker
It's not Camponotus aeneopilosus ssp. flavidopubescens (looks wrong & they aren't in SA), so must be the other sub-species.

These are full crops. I brighten the photo's up a lot to show morphological details.
In reality this is a very dark brown specimen.
I have another which has a lot more grey in it. Not sure if colour is a diagnostic with these.
We find them in rock, or climbing the wall of our house.
When photographing it I was concentrating on the pronotum to see if I could find any "wings". Trying to determine adult or nymph. So the knee shots are purely by chance.
They don't seem to be bothered by the fridge too much, waking up quite quickly and becoming difficult to photograph.

I’m guessing G. acedesta but not confident it isn’t a Crexa Moth.

ellurasanctuaryDescription
~6mm long larva.
We caught a couple of larvae & a couple of adults together on a Kidney Saltbush.
When I flipped this one over to get a ventral shot, the adult ran over to help flip it up. (2nd to last shot)
When I did the same with the adult, the larva came over to help the adult flip over! (last shot)
I've never seen inverts help each other like that before!
