Messor capensis
This huge harvester ant - around 2cm long - was calmly walking across the pavement in St. Paul's. From the size I guess it's a queen.
It looks slightly different from the ant I identified as M. capensis in South Africa, but reading around indicates some who would like to subdivide the species.
