Myrmecia urens is a species of ant in the genus Myrmecia (bulldog ants) found in Australia.

While pollination by ants is somewhat rare,[1] the orchid Leporella fimbriata is a myrmecophyte which can only be pollinated by the winged males of this species.

[2][3][4] Pollination of this orchid usually occurs between April and June during warm afternoons, and may take several days until the males all die due to their limited lifespan.

[5] The flower mimics M. urens queens, and so the males move from flower to flower in an attempt to copulate with it.
