There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Winged Bull ant, also known as Bulldog ant (Myrmecia sp.) 40mm length. These large, spectacular, alert ants have characteristic big eyes, long, slender mandibles and a potent venom-loaded sting.They have superior vision - this one was tracking me during the photo session from up to 1 metre away. Seen here against the glass of my kitchen door. I believe there are approximately 90 species of bull ants in this country....mid-coast New South Wales, Australia.
