Bullet Ant

The name of this bullet ant, which only reaches a length of 2 centimeters, comes from its terrible bite, which has been compared to being shot by a bullet. These ants hunt in packs and their numerous bites can paralyze or kill huge animals. Although the bite is not fatal to humans, it is extremely painful and may induce momentary paralysis in the area where it occurred.


It has the most painful insect bites in the world. The species' sting is among the most severe of all insect species, and it also includes a neurotoxin. It can be 1-3 mm long and is found on the ant's abdomen. They nest on bushes, trees, and the ground, but are usually found in the Rainforest that runs from Nicaragua to Paraguay.
