I got bit by a really nasty ant today, on my finger. I don't know what kind of ant it was but it hurt like crazy and made half my hand go tingly, and it still hurts now, over an hour later.
Just like flies, the ants here are something else. In some areas where we look for birds there are so many you really can't stand in one spot for longer than just a second or two before they climb up your shoes, get stuck in your socks then walk up your legs... and bite!
There are of course many different varieties of ants but besides bull ants (the ones that are about 2cm (1in) long and with long, visible teeth), it is hard to tell which ones will bite really bad. What a learning process...
