Your welcome
I saw it a few times and wanted to get a good series, but it was a little skittish.

Are the 2 new ones also male?

Yes, they are
Females of this genus are flightless, ant-like creatures.

Wow
something new to look for! This should be a real challenge, but at least if I find one it won't get away so easily ;-)
