The Bull ant is one in all the biggest estimated types of ants in Australia and generally measures about 15-36mm long. It is also known as a Bull Ant or Jumper Ant, is dark red/dark in colour and has long, recognisable mandibles which make them instantly identifiable with large eyes.

The Bull Ant forages for a protein based diet which predominantly contains other insects. They also enjoy nectar, seeds and fruits. Colonies tend to be small but the queen does invade other colonies and take them captive, killing the first queen.

As one of the exclusive Australian ant species, they can be found all around the states. Usually, they are found outside and construct their homes underground. They can also build a nest in an emptied tree trunk or spoiled log. Their nest is sometimes hard to locate as it includes a little opening that’s covered with debris or plants. They will attack any intruder who approaches their dwelling.

Known for its aggressive character, Bull Ants produce a powerful, venom-filled sting which causes incredible pain for the victim. They are mainly vicious when they sense the nest is in danger. An allergic reaction or several bites in humans can result in anaphylactic shock, which is dangerous. The Bull ant mainly uses its venom to paralyse insect prey.
