Now, I know what's going through your heads right now..." an informational speech"...."groan"..
This speech is different with some mind blowing facts that you would not believe.
The Jack Jumping Ant: An minuscule ant that can kill you.
This fearsome little devil is black and red and here is a photo of it. If this little devil stings you it is just like a needle stabbed into your arm without any painkillers. As you may know Steve Baschall who hosts "Deadly 60", used to host a program called the venom hunter. Here he went around the world letting venomous animals sting him and then he said how painfull it was. The Jack Jumper Ant is very like the well known Bullet Ant. Baschall was stung many times on the hand by Bullet Ants and he said that this was the most painful venom that he had endured. Unfortunately I cannot put up the video due to technical problems. This ant is very aggressive and will sting recklessly when disturbed. In Tasmania these ants have killed more animal than Sharks, Spiders, Snakes and wasps combined. One sting from one of these ants and the wound will redden and swell up, then you will get a devastating fever and blisters on the wound. Just think, if one ant could do that much damage to a human being, how much damage will it sting if it was travelling in a pack?
