I imagine how embedded into the substrate they are depends on the substrate - smooth (these) v fibrous (David's on your site). They (empty cocoons) remain for years and detach with time. Is their another hairy species that builds these urticating cocoons under bark on food trees, adjacent trees and other wood etc ? The pointed ends suggests this sp. I have only once found similar cocoons that probable were not A nicothoe because they were probably 2x + the size of these. I am not certain what they were - they were long exited so no, I did not raise them.
Anthela nicothoe

you are not cynical? On Mt Majura we have 2 sites where we observe E oblongata; they are behind gardens where the species grows. I'm not sure how it spreads but at least in one case I assume garden waste dumping. I keep a close eye on regrowth and remove whenever I spot some, either by pulling or cut and spray; this treatment is only possible as long as there are small amounts that we don't allow to spread further. An ongoing issue... Waltraud, Friends of Mt Majura

@JonLewis I'm only a moderator for ants within the Canberra region, with this being in QLD, I cannot create a new species for it
Polyrhachis ammon

@NateKingsford I agree with this one too. It's great you are so familiar with the Queensland ants! Cheers, Jon
