Hairy sugar ants (Camponotus niveosetosus) Definitely C. niveosetosus, from the bristly hairs on their bodies, but the photo does not show this very clearly. I was surprised to see ants sipping nectar from this flower - I have not seen ants in Ferrarias before.

Typical bistly white hairs on the gaster of a typically Camponotine ant. One of only three local ant species that I have seen hunting around the intertidal; this Hairy Sugar ant was a long way from the grassy shore, fossicking around the tidal rocks.

Medium size ants, majors up to about 10mm, minors about 4-6 mm. Black with very prominent white bristles, esp. on the gaster. Often seen singly moving swiftly over fynbos plants in the daytime. This Hairy sugar ant occurs all over the Western and Eastern Cape fynbos; it fossicks around during the day seeking nectar from fynbos flowers. More at www.ants.org.za
