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

Etymology

The name derives from the Latin language, which translates as 'wonderful', which is in reference to how unique the species looks in comparison to other Iridomyrmex ants.[1]

gollark: Isn't that a problem?

gollark: Wait, so if the bot is killed all the investment maturation handling processes are killed too?

gollark: They don't seem to be doing anything particularly stupid. Maybe just lack of async IO.

gollark: Actually, I'll go check the code, since that bot at least has the code published somewhere.

gollark: I wonder what they were doing then.
