Description: Meat-eater ants (Iridomyrmex purpureus) working cooperatively to devour a cicada (possibly Psaltoda moerens but damage to the victim makes a definite identification difficult to confirm). The cicada is approximately 60-70mm long, the ants are approximately 15mm long. East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia, 11 Nov, 2009.
