On January 1st, 2023, at around 5:30 P.M., I was in my grandmother’s driveway (in East Ballina, NSW, Australia) when I spotted an Ochetellus glaber queen. To ensure I had some excellent photos for identification, I let the ant crawl onto my arm to make taking a good photo easier. This was made even less complicated because this queen was much slower than many others I had previously found. After obtaining a few usable images, I set the ant back down on the ground so she could find a nest site.
