Which is a pity because they do actually look kind of cool

Say what?! Some Ants can jump that far? Wow.
This will be rather vague, but I read some time ago that the body of a man, was discovered in some local woods soon after being reporting missing......But to cut a long story short, the conclusion was, that this guy was under the influence of alcohol and couldn't walk properly, on the way home he fell into an area that had a substantial population of Ants (I think they were a species of Fire Ant) and he got bitten to death by them.
As I said, I know it's a bit vague, but when i first read it I thought to myself, that's definitely one of the worst ways to go. Quick death? I think not.
I'll try and find the article. |

Many ants can sting humans, and some can even bite. The bullet ant has the most painful sting in the insect world, so-named because it feels like being shot. There are also a lot of flightless wasps which are often confused with ants. An example is the velvet ant, which feeds on plant nectar and has an especially painful sting. |
Sorry, I know they can attack as defense, meant that they just attack without reason. Over here the little red ones can sting. The little black ones normally don't do anything. But I'm just talking about the little ones in our gardens. In the woods probably there are hundreds of other types.
I don't think we have that velvet ant or cow killer over here. We do have the European hornet of which people say 5 stings can kill a horse, but that isn't true. But probably a sting will be as painful as one by the velvet ant. Although the hornet isn't very aggressive it's better not to annoy them. |

A red fire ant crawled into my pants and slowly worked its way all the way up my leg, biting me as it went along. I thought something was seriously wrong with me because I kept getting these shocking feelings and then a lasting pain but couldn't see anything. Finally I discovered the ant when it got up to my hip. How it survived (I rubbed the hell out of my pants where he was biting me), I don't know.... but when I found him that ****** died. He must have bit me about 20 times.

I actually ran my car up the ass of another car at some traffic lights a few years ago. It happened because a bull-ant had somehow gotten into my undies and was biting my ass. :wtf:
Should have seen the look on the guy head as I was trying to explain that to him. Lucky I had the dead ant there for evidence. |
