Swan Reach Conservation Park, SA, AU (Google, OSM)

Description

~8mm long male.

Found large numbers of males & females flying.
We've posted females before, but not the males.
Didn't realise what they were (ant species) until later after I released them. Wish I had taken more photo's of the males. But they were smaller & more difficult than the females.
