This little fucker crawled into my bed as I slept and attacked me. He’s 4cm long. Just look at those choppers. “The venom from Myrmecia stings are among the most potent in the insect world.”
I woke up immediately and thought I was dying. This is about 3 minutes after the attack. I thought my appendix had ruptured or something.

Check out the velvet ants over here in the states. Not really an ant but you're pretty sure death is better after being stung.

We call them "cunt ants" probably doesn't need an explanation. I got stung on the crease beween bum and thigh once. That was a shit day.

Wait, Bull ant ot Bullet ant?

Bull ant. They are common in Australia. They are arseholes but not as bad as bullet ants.

I recognize it probably hurts like the extreme dickens, but imagine when you get to tell this story later and your cool badass points go up

Real australians don't fear bullants, they fear green ants and jumping jacks. Less painful each, but theres billions of them.

Picture made me want to find out if gold colored ants exist naturally, Instead I found a penis enlargement pill called golden ant...

There's definitely a silvery ant that lives in the desert - looks baller.

I hardly see these indoors where I am in Melb luckily but this was one that got me camping down Lorne way

I don't think that's a bull ant. Bull ants are bigger and a deep red.

There're nearly 100 different species of them, ranging from solid black to multi-coloured and oddly pretty.

I was about 6, I pissed on a bull ants nest. They were not kind to me. And, i am female so I was alot closer to them than a male would be
TedTheMan
Did you learn. Do you have scars. Can we see?
Kaoss01
I leaned very quickly... thankfully no scars.... ya pervert :p

You are very smart. Good deal. Had to ask, just in case :)

It is actually bush tukka. Tastes peppery

No no no. Blast it with radiation and let it bite you again.

Yes. It's supposed to be the possessive. Autocorrect doesn't recognize the difference and always uses the apostrophe.
reallyapencilandpaper
Totally true, I ate like a hundred fire ants. Spicy tingly little bastards, but I was immune to the bite/sting for at least 3 years
Thresholdpush
Haha. That's fantastic.

So now you're about to find out if its' hospital time because of an allergy you never knew you had. Good luck!
littlepenguinologist
My parents yard has a nest of these (we call them inch ants) that we haven’t been able to find & kill. Found out the hard way I was allergic
littlepenguinologist
Luckily for me it’s not a serious allergy but fuck do they hurt like a MF

Owlssaywhoooo
Go to chemist/supermarket and get Stingos Spray.
theherbalhelper
Nah I had a 'mild' allergic reaction, they sort of turned into bigger welts. Just walk it off

Nah tbh I cried a whole lot and went home from school

I stuck my hand under a paving stone with a nest under it. You only make that mistake once.

I don't mind insects and bugs. But I hate bull ants with an absolute passion.
smellyshorts
I kind of want to see pics... how many stings?
Churtothechur
No pic sorry. I didn't take photos while I was working.
Churtothechur
I used to take kids on camp for work. They were walking through the bush. I saw the best. Kid didn't. I pushed him out of the way and

Got stung round 5 times on the legs. Then another 3 in the armpit. I never swore on front of my students. But I let out a massive "FUCKKKK"
SerenePrincess013
Completely justified, and all the more reason for me to never visit. Too many things that want to kill me, or make me wish I was dead.

Update: the swelling has gone down and the pain is almost gone. /a/0HDqo8L

Good deal... It's weird to think it's sunny there right now, I get that the world is round, but sometimes I forget it's sunny elsewhere

Old trick from when we were kids camping, get a fern stalk, the little foot high jobs that grow everywhere, break the stem and paint >

> the bite with the sap, works a treat, pain gone. Dunno why.

Sap from a Gympie Gympie tree works best.

Oh, that's not nice. But I suppose you should always investigate a plant before taking advice about it's medicinal properties from strangers
