Hi Hejor, yet another new species for CNM - congratulations! This ant seems to be pretty uncommon in the Canberra region, and I have only ever seen it previously at Mulligan's Flat. Great to know it is able to survive in the suburbs as well. Cheers, Jon

This might be Lasioglossum (Chilalictus) erythrurum or Lasioglossum (Homalictus) punctatum. The former would carry pollen mostly on the hind legs and the latter mostly under the abdomen. The sculpture on the top of the thorax is also different in the two species.

Lasioglossum sp.

Yes they are all males and it is quite common for roosting aggregations to contain more than one species.

Euryglossa adelaidae

@michael.batley They were very tolerant of each other, is that unusual? And are they all males?
