Leptomyrmex tibialis is a species of ant in the genus Leptomyrmex. First described by Carlo Emery in 1895 as Leptomyrmex nigriventris tibialis, the species is endemic to Australia, and found in both New South Wales and Queensland. The arguments for synonymy were made by Lucky and Ward, and the decision was accepted by the Australian Faunal Directory. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Leptomyrmex tibialis sighting in Springbrook National Park on a given day, based on 22 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 68th most-seen of the 429 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 30%, and over a week to about 60%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April, June, October and December
In those months about 20% of wildlife watchers report a Leptomyrmex tibialis in Springbrook National Park on a given day, against under 5% in February and July–August, the lowest months.
Between 9 am and noon
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Leptomyrmex tibialis sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 parks where we can rate Leptomyrmex tibialis sightings, Springbrook National Park ranks 2nd at about 10%. The best odds are in Lamington National Park (Australia, about 30%).
Same genus: Leptomyrmex
The closest relatives of the Leptomyrmex tibialis that you can see in Springbrook National Park (genus Leptomyrmex, Spider Ants) are Leptomyrmex rufipes (about 10%) and Leptomyrmex cnemidatus (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Leptomyrmex tibialis is recorded against all the insects logged in Springbrook National Park (22 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
