Description

Posted in Category: Invertebrates -  

This is the red bull ant (Myrmecia gulosa). They have extremely keen vision and scare me a lot. The venom of these ants has the potential to induce anaphylactic shock in allergic sting victims. As with most severe allergic reactions, if left untreated the reaction may be lethal. These large, alert ants have characteristic large eyes and long, slender mandibles. They have superior vision, able to track and even follow intruders from a distance of 1 metre.
