army ant

'predator's' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'gun back from saturday at around noon' is the wordplay.
'gun' becomes 'arm' (I've seen this in other clues).
'back from' suggests the final letters (the letter at the back of the word).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'noon' becomes 'n' (abbreviation).
The final letter of 'saturday' is 'y'.
'at' enclosing 'n' is 'ant'.
'arm'+'y'+'ant'='ARMY ANT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for army ant that I've seen before include "Stinging insect" , "Soldier, perhaps" , "tropical insect" , "Group-foraging insect" , "Foraging insect" .)
