Hey guys

I found these guys in my backyard earlier today, and was hoping to see if I could catch a new queen at a later date. But first I need to figure out what the species actually is. Hopefully, these photos are clear enough. I live in ACT, Australia if that helps at all.

looks like one of the Camponotus species one of the aussie youtubers has.
aurocinctas or something

thats just a guess, i really have no idea
Founding:
3 Solenopsis I/X
5 Tapinoma sessile
1 Nylanderia terricola/vivulda

Colonies:
1 Brachymyrmex patagonicus
1 Pheidole soritis
1 Tapinoma sessile

The difference between a hobby and a scientific pursuit, is detailed notes.

Probably the species Camponotus aeneopilosus (Golden-tailed sugar ant)
