Camponotos sp.
Red flowering gums from Western Australia provide a good feed of nectar to a local species of ant. Ants about 8mm long.
Planted Corymbia sp. in a local sports reserve.
Thanks Sckel for reminder about sugar ants (Camponotos sp.)

Thanks Arya and Sckel. Yes you're probably right with camponotus... I will search a bit later today ...and anything walking in my ear would need a chainsaw these days. 8-/
Imagine them walking in your ear. uiui
I think it's camponotus.
Mark, awesome photo! I like that it gives a feel of being in the flower with those ants!
Thanks Tina. An arty one as last for the evening - good night :-)
Mark, masterpiece!
