Camping in Australia thread
These suckers (aka Bulldog ant, inchman) really HURT, it's not the jaws (although they are bad enough) but the sting in their backside, even if you aren't susceptible to that in an allergic way 20-30 stings can kill you AFAIK, and with 50 or a 100 pouring out of a nest it's not hard to get that many stings . But even worse maybe is that they a very aggressive and proactive in having a go, if you hang around their nest they actually come looking for you (must sense the vibrations I suppose). I remember as a kid stoning a nest from the top of a small bank. After a few minutes we looked around to find that the little sods had flanked us and were closing it. Yikes!
Ha ha, you should have got out morebecause i was sitting on it
