Iridomyrmex macrops is a species of ant in the genus Iridomyrmex. Described by Heterick and Shattuck in 2011, the species is endemic to several states in Australia.[1]

Etymology

The name derives from the Greek language, which refers to the ant containing large eyes.[1]

gollark: (I am using bipropellant because rocket fuel is awful to make.)

gollark: Oh, I'm being stupid, it needs "bipropellant fuel tanks" *and* "oxidizer fuel tanks" or something like that.

gollark: (and the numbers weren't zero)

gollark: It said "clear for liftoff" when I scanned it.

gollark: I put in the space station ID chip and space station container, and it has fuel.
