biting ants
      #972 - 15/01/03 06:48 PM

Interesting to hear of safarihunts scorpion stings,we had penty of them in Vic where i was living but i never had the pleasure of a sting,but we have two ants that are real mongrels in Vic and Tas both of them hang on with their mandibles and sting through their arse like a wasp--how bad well just like a cigar burning on your flesh,in fact according ot my book of records the bulldog ant is the only one that has ever killed a human(two) also called the inchman coz he`s an inch(25mm) long.The other is of course the jackjumper and i reckon personally after both have given me a shot he is THE one not to annoy haha.CChunter have you got these things in Sweden i know you would have found baddies in Africa.

Gryphon,

We only really have one baddy ant in RSA it is called thje Commando ant they walk in a file to other ants nest and raid them wehn listening closely you can actually hear them walking and that is where they got the name from.

They have soldiers who bite but all of them sting as well like you said about yours not as nasty though.
