Bull ants don't bite, they sting

Yer ok, it's like snake Venum and snake poison, those ants have a huge pair of Mandibles on them as well.

These live in my bush, about
20-25mm long. I usually get stung by them whenever I'm cutting firewood with the chainsaw. Painful stings at first then large swelling then a few days later become very itchy for the next week. They're very angry an aggressive and usually get stung by several.
They're little fuckers.

Biting little bastards.

No, stinging little bastards - as Rob has already pointed out.

At that trail riding spot you couldn't stand still for long or they would climb up your boot, I never got caught but a mate 6-year-old did, he screamed his head off for a very long time. They actively hunted you, scary bloody things, a solid-bodied 25mm long and dark red.

No, stinging big bastards especially if they mob ya. Always on the lookout for their mounds.

Agree, it stings after they bite.

As kids, we had heaps of bull ant and sugar ant nests at the park near us.
The bull ants hated Cracker night!!!

Nothing a threepenny bunger wouldn't sort out.

As kids when out in the bush if we found a bull ant nest we would jump like shit all over it then run like fuck.
