This newsgroup will not accept binaries you will have to put it elsewhere
and post a link.

Most ISPs have their newsservers set to not distribute binary
posts where they appear in these text groups, so most readers
will be unaware of any accompanying pic.

It would be informative to be told what niche the insects are
habitating, what they seem to be feeding on, and how many there
seem to be. Your photo shows them on dead timber, so maybe they
are termites that are normally unseen but which you uncovered?
(Just to show how one can be otherwise left to jump to wild
conclusions.)

I've never set eyes on such colourful bugs.

theyre actually gathered in a dead clump of grass which i whipper snipped
and poisoned a few weeks ago at the bottom of the hardwood stake thats in
in the pic .there is a tap there but i never use it so the soil underneath
isn't wet

i hope they arent termites, ive got another photo of them all in the grass
..ive got a funny feeling that they are babies and when they mature they
might turn black in one of the pics i think theyre might be an adult i could
be wrong

ill attach a couple more pics in binaries under the original post

thanks for any input

No, usenet doesn't take images except in binaries groups.
Idiots use google groups and think that is usenet.

Look a bit like Termites to me. Google "Termites" and then click the
Images option. Not exactly the same, but close.

Not exactly true. My provider (teranews) is not all that fussy about
binaries in a non-binary group but others like bigpong give you the text
only, that is why I was able to see the image in a text (only) group. BTW
how does one access google groups???

yeh iwas thinking the same thing

i've done that and i couldnt find anything exactly like them.

i was a bit stressed that they may have been termites

they are only very tiny maybe at the largest being about 3mm long

Leave them alone.

What was the weather like?
Do you have any other photographs?
Look like an ant to me, but with out better photographs, can not be sure.
IME You do not normally see termites on the surface like that unless they
are winged or nest has been broken open.

I found the pic through google groups. They do look like termites, we have
some round here that are about that size. There are many species round the
world, you would need to be an expert to say exactly which one.

Is your house timber? fade up music from the movie jaws
