Thanks for the link, I was planing of finding it but never did it as my usual habit :). It's fine I will get their ID at some point, they won't escape!

Hurray for the ants! There is an ant mission here http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/10237910, but you are already quite busy! And I have a "bad ID day today", sorry for that :)
