Camponotus triodiae, sometimes called the spinifex ant (a name more commonly used for Ochetellus flavipes), is a species of ant found in Australia, originally discovered in northern South Australia. The ants' nests have a distinctive entrance created from a combination of a long tube of spinifex grass and red outback soil.[2]
