As one of the exclusive Australian ant species, they can be found all around the states. Generally, they are found outside and construct their homes underground. They also can build a nest in an drained tree trunk or spoiled log. Their nest is sometimes hard to locate as it includes a tiny opening that’s covered with debris or plants. They will attack any intruder who approaches their dwelling.

Known for its aggressive nature, Bull Ants produce a powerful, venom-filled bite which causes incredible pain for the victim. They are primarily vicious when they feel the nest is at risk.
