Haha I didn't mean to traumatise you guys ! I'm fascinated by them & have seen red bull dog ants kill & tare apart full size grasshoppers in the bulb garden. Pretty handy little fellas to say the least lol. Here is a couple of photos. You don't ever want to be bitten if your strolling through the rainforest. Ive copped a sting from both & the pain is simply unfathomable !!!!! A girlfriends large bullmastiff size dog wandered across a nest once & got a few stings on the tummy & it went into chronic shock & shivered for over an hour in excruciating pain. All I could do was plunge its tummy into a freezing creek & try to reduce the venom movement to save its life.
