Calamphoreus inflatus was first formally described in 1942 by Charles Gardner in Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia as Eremophila inflata from a specimen collected in the Coolgardie district near Mount Holland and Lake Cronin. The genus name (Calamphoreus) is from the Ancient Greek words kalos meaning "beautiful" and amphoreus meaning "two-handled vase", "pitcher", "jar", "jug" or "cinerary urn" referring to the shape of the flowers. The specific epithet (inflatus) is a Latin word meaning "puffed up" or "swollen".

Lasmigona alabamensis, common name Alabama heelsplitter, is a species of freshwater mussel, an aquatic bivalve mollusk in the family Unionidae. Confusingly, a different species, Potamilus inflatus, has also sometimes been listed as "Alabama heelsplitter". In order to avoid confusion, that species has now been given the common name "inflated heelsplitter".

In Emigrantia the genal spines are longer than the cephalon and attach halfway down its side (or lateral margin). Peachella has club-like genal spines. The genal spine bases and lateral cephalic border are also inflated in Paranephrolenellus inflatus, but this species differs from Eopeachella in having clearly visible glabellar furrows, and strongly divergent ocular lobes.

Holopneustes inflatus, the pink sea urchin or sea grass sea urchin is a species of sea urchin of the family Temnopleuridae. Pink Sea Urchins are found in southern Australia, in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania. The habitat is inter-tidal rocky areas and coastal waters up to a depth of 75 metres. Often seen amongst kelp.

Panulirus inflatus, the blue spiny lobster, is species of crustacean in the family Palinuridae (spiny lobsters). It is found at rocky reefs to depths of in the Pacific Ocean off Mexico, ranging from Baja California to Chiapas. It is commonly caught in artisanal fisheries, but the species is not threatened, being categorized as least concern by the IUCN. There are no subspecies.

Other workers drain them of their liquid food stores to feed the rest of the colony. Plerergates can live anywhere in the nest, but in the wild, they are found deep underground, unable to move, swollen to the size of grapes. In Camponotus inflatus in Australia, repletes formed 49% (516 ants) of a colony of 1063 ants, and 46% (1835 ants) of a colony of 4019 ants. The smaller colony contained six wingless queens.

Potamilus inflatus, the inflated heelsplitter, is a species of freshwater mussel, an aquatic bivalve mollusk in the family Unionidae, the river mussels. This species was called by the common name Alabama heelsplitter in the standard reference, Turgeon, 1998. Because another species Lasmigona alabamensis was also given that same name in that publication, this duplication of name caused some confusion. Therefore, the common name of this species was subsequently changed to "inflated heelsplitter".

Cistus inflatus is a slightly spreading shrub, up to tall. It leaves are green, oblong in shape, usually long by wide, with turned under (revolute) margins, variably hairy, with long simple and stellate hairs on both sides. The leaves are unstalked (sessile) and, at least near the base, have three veins. The flowers are arranged in cymes with one to five individual flowers, each across with five white petals with narrowed yellow bases, and five sepals.

Honeypot ants compared to a human hand. The dark dorsal sclerites are widely separated by the stretched arthrodial membrane of the inflated abdomen of each replete. The abdomen of species like Camponotus inflatus consists of hard dorsal sclerites (stiff plates) connected by a softer, more flexible arthrodial membrane. When the abdomen is empty, the arthrodial membrane is folded and the sclerites overlap, but when the abdomen fills the arthrodial membrane becomes fully stretched, leaving the sclerites widely separated.

Calamphoreus inflatus is a shrub sometimes growing to a height of and spreading to wide with branches that are slightly sticky when young. The leaves are arranged alternately, mostly long, wide, thick, sticky and elliptic or narrow lance-shaped. The flowers are arranged singly or in groups of up to 5 in the axils of leaves on a stalk long. There are 5 oblong sepals which are hairy, and after flowering develop a network of distinct veins.

Once modified into a tent, a leaf lives approximately 7.5 weeks, compared to 61 weeks in an unmodified leaf. Several species of Heliconia are used as roosts, including H. imbricata, H. latispatha, H. pogonantha, H. tortuosa, and H. sarapiquensis. Rarely, it has been documented using Calathea and Ischnosiphon inflatus plants as roosts. In selecting leaves to turn into tents, it appears that the age and size of the leaf is more important than the species of plant.

Much of how humans contract the Ebola virus is unknown. Scientists hypothesize that humans initially become infected through contact with an infected animal such as a megabat or non-human primate. Megabats are presumed to be a natural reservoir of the Ebola virus, but this has not been firmly established. Microbats are also being investigated as the reservoir of the virus, with the greater long-fingered bat (Miniopterus inflatus) once found to harbor a fifth of the virus's genome (though not testing positive for the actual virus) in 2019.

Honeypot ants in Northern Territory, Australia Carpenter ants and their larvae are eaten in various parts of the world. In Australia, the Honeypot ant (Camponotus inflatus) is regularly eaten raw by Indigenous Australians. It is a particular favourite source of sugar for Australian Aborigines living in arid regions, partially digging up their nests instead of digging them up entirely, in order to preserve this food source. In North America, lumbermen during the early years in Maine would eat carpenter ants to prevent scurvy, and in John Muir's publication, First Summer in the Sierra, Muir notes that the Digger Indians of California ate the tickling, acid gasters of the large jet-black carpenter ants.
