Excited to see it! Unless you find cooler stuff than me. In which case, you're the worst. ;P

when you flipped over the rock 8:55 and they started jumping down, quite a sight if youve never seen that behavior before. thanks for sharing

9:30 Myrmecia tarsata 9:51 Myrmecia brevindoa

I really want big headed ants that major at the start was so cute grooming itself 😍

They really are a cool genus! I was surprised at how common they were in Australia, the little buggers were absolutely everywhere. Most of them weren't as impressive as the major I featured in the video, though.

I love your videos

Hello, from USA

Awesome!

I’m finally getting to your Australia videos, and you’re killin it already! So many cool species in here, I need to seriously step up my Australian ant ID game. How are you identifying all of these guys? I love the Rhytidoponera, such a pretty color and a great specific epithet. This deserves way more views!

We were able to ID most of the ants we found to genus-level in the field, but much of the species-level identifications were from the help of ant identifiers on iNaturalist. I think I would have been able to ID many species myself by sorting through keys and AntWeb specimens, but more often than not they beat me to it.

Idk how you didn’t get stung by a jumping jack 😮😮😮
