Mayriella ants from Australia

Ants in the genus Mayriella are very tiny ants that are found mainly in south-east Asia and Oceania (Australia and New Zealand). Mayriella overbecki is not a rare species but it is rarely detected due to its small size and because it lives mainly in the leaf litter, building nests in or under rotten logs and decaying leaves. The groove present on their head allows them to fully retract their antennae to protect them if they feel threatened. The small pits on the surface of their body and their long hairs may help repel water.
