Meat ant

Meat ants (''Iridomyrmex purpureus''), also known as meat-eater ants or gravel ants, are a species of ant belonging to the ''Iridomyrmex'' genus. They can be found throughout Australia.
==Etymology==
The word ''purpureus'' derives from the Latin language, which translates to "purple", "purple-coloured" or "dark-red", referencing the coloured appearance of the ant. In classical Latin, ''purpureus'' primarily translated to "dyed purple", while the word ''purpura'', originally used as the specific name for the meat ant (''Formica purpura''), translates to "purpled-dyed cloth". The name of the genus of the meat ant, ''Iridomyrmex'', translates to "rainbow ants", another reference which points to its appearance; this in particular is due to its blue-green iridescence colour. The word ''Irido'', meaning "rainbow", derives from Ancient Greek, and ''myrmex'', another Greek word, means "ant".
