I've wanted to see one of these since first seeing one in a book as a little kid.

I’d love to share my experience hunting for these guys with Aṉangu in central aus. The signs in the landscape were such a thrill. Tracks and latrines of ant skeletons - they visit every day like a habitual old man visiting the John.
