Bull ant
This picture comes from a CD called "Images-Australia".
The bull ant is fierce and aggressive. It lives in Australia and New
Caledonia. I suggest you don't bother them or wreck their nests because
they could sting you and, trust me - it hurts!
You can tell if it's a Bull Ant's nest if it has a mound of dirt with a hole in
the middle. Ant-eaters and echidnas are Bull Ants' worst enemies, along
with other ants. They attack things that pass by their nests because they
think that the tresspasser is going to take over the nest.
