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

Etymology

The name derives from the Latin language, which translates as 'black', which refers to its appearance of only being black.[1]

gollark: Stuff runs at those frequencies because the electromagnetic spectrum is pretty heavily government-regulated, with governments actually selling off access to most of it to companies, but most places allow use of 2.4 and 5GHz or so.

gollark: There are also different WiFi standards for packing higher data rates into whatever frequency range, some of which work, I think, by using several streams at different frequencies combined.

gollark: 2.4GHz and 5GHz are different, er, frequencies, though stuff doesn't run at exactly those frequencies but generally around them.
