1. The Bull Ant
Bull ants are deadly due to their bite and potential for causing devastating allergic reactions.
Most commonly found in Australian forests and woodlands, the bull ant is a large species of ant that can commonly grow to be up to 40 millimeters in length. This ant is recognized by its slender body, long legs, and large mandibles it uses to find food, build nests, and defend itself.
Bull ants can be deadly to humans as their bite can lead to anaphylaxis. Bull ants are also known to bite in numbers, especially if you have accidentally disturbed their colony.
The more bull ant bites you sustain, the more likely you will be to suffer from anaphylaxis. Still, it’s quite rare to die from a bull ant bite. In fact, only three human deaths have been reported since 1936, with the last reported death occurring in 1988.
