Hey everybody, so my friend caught this queen and he was struggling to use the forum so I'll be posting it for him.

He said it was about 10-11mm long and was caught in NSW, Australia.

I think it'd be an Iridomyrmyx bicknelli or a camponotus nigriceps?

I'm not going to take a guess at species from across the globe, but she is Iridomyrmex.

This is Camponotus.

Would you be able to identify the species? My friend could take some closer photos if you like.
