Australian 'Bullet-Ants' mating (Jack Jumper)

A rarely filmed spectacle of nature, the mating habits of the jack jumper (or similar) species of ant. It is considered to be the most painful insect sting in Australia and 2nd in the world.
People have died due to anxiety as a result of the pain from the bites.
Lomandra leaf base, or banana peals, are a quick acting antidote to the sting.

Those ants suck. Not the males, they cant sting. The others though, the sting sucks and their bite normally draws blood, at least when they get me it always seems too. Always fun getting stung and bit at the same time. They get me once a year or ever other year if im lucky. We had the males flying around at the tail end of the hottest days last week. Crazy watching them breed, i haven't seen that before, cool video.

Sometimes, I stare at them when they bite me. Have a yarn to 'em and say "you good there, bud? You done yet?"
