Hi Alison, thanks for the record. Myrmecorhynchus emeryi is not often recorded, though is widespread. It is a polymorphic genus, having workers of various sizes. The small workers are most commonly seen, but this is a media or major worker. Cheers, Jon

Jon, Simon and anyone else, I am sorry to say my phone has given a very wrong location. Photo was taken at 770 Jamberoo Mountain Road. No drone involved.
