Hi Alison, it’s definitely a Myrmecia queen (after she has lost her wings) and I would guess it is Myrmecia fulvipes, but not sure. Cheers, Jon

Thanks you Alison. Wonderful. I saw all the insects you have sighted in Magpie Hill Park. I have started noticing insects and I'll now try and look out for more after seeing your great photos.
Alison Milton - 10,000 sightings - Fantastic effort

VicFlora uses seed characters to distinguish between C. album and C. murale
Seed acutely keeled around equator, dull, finely pitted; pericarp persistent C. murale
Seed obtuse around equator, shining, smooth; pericarp easily detached from seed C. album
There was another plant in the area identified as C. album recently - see Chenopodium album (Fat Hen), which clearly had hairs on the underside of the leaves. PlantNet uses the hairs as a distinguishing feature as well as the seed.
So maybe your sighting is C. murale as I cannot see hairs anywhere, only the occasional white fleck which could be a hair.
Chenopodium album

Nice, for some reason I thought it was a leaf beetle. Cool that it's only the second sighting on Canberra Nature Map of this ladybird.
