Pogonomyrmex was very common. Dont worry a few herps are coming.

On the hillside I located a colony of Forelius under a rock,

Termites were fairly common under the rocks, which made it something of a shock that there was so little ant activity.

I also managed to locate a couple of colonies of Myrmecocystus mimicus (Honey Pot Ants) , a very common species at this site.
I looked down and this was what I saw
Did find this cute hopping spider
