this is to inform you that i would request to be an evil duck were it not for the fact that i am currently playing a meat ant in an ant roleplay community
best of luck with your evil deeds however
hooray :3
Best of luck with your meat ant roleplay!
I don't know if it's a grevellea or a Banksia. I found it on the road to Morawa.
Note the meat ant on the underside. A lot of pollination out here is done by ants

Meat Ants | The Kickboxing Ants From Down Under
An original documentary on Australia’s iconic “Meat Ants” (Iridomyrmex purpureus), also known as “Rainbow Ants”. From their massive colonies and nest structures, to their fierce ability to overwhelm their victims, to the way they kickbox to resolve conflict, to their avid farming of leafhoppers and aphids...Meat ants are some very fascinating ants indeed!
Are there no ant roleplay groups that have a meat ant colony???
