User's notes
Ant feeding on nectar (presumably) to identify as much as possible (from only this healthy single individual feeding).
Walking along an inflorescence to the many flowers, of this _Mischocarpus lachnocarpus_ forest mid.–storey rainforest tree growing in the river bank (riparian) forest .
This tree flowering well this season, and bright green foliage new growth with rusty–brown hairs all over the branchlets, peduncles and petioles .
Mossman Gorge, main River, growing beside the raised major viewing platform, and photographed from it .
2015 February 11th 3:09–3:13 pm .

Sorry Jason, can’t see this one well enough for an ID, though it could be a Technomyrmex. Cheers, Jon
