Bull Ant (Jumping Jack Ant)

This is a big ant - they grow to 40mm in cases. And the bite makes the smoke curl out of your ears for at least an hour.. They are vicious and would jump on you from a meter away if they perceive you as an intruder....which they usually do. I was sweating from fear when I gave this one a quick click..

Well done Oz, good focus and lighting. Interesting ant, looks like it is dehydrated, crinkled abdomen...

The lighting was a mere fluke, not because I am such a boffin. I wanted to make sure I see the ant and try an anticipate it's actions. I grabbed a LED-Light torch in my haste and that was my source.Well done Oz, good focus and lighting. Interesting ant, looks like it is dehydrated, crinkled abdomen...

The USA has a lot of nasty critters, but your Aussie critters are in a class of their own.

Both images are well executed, especially in the field.
I believe that we do not yet know about your macro set-up. Please consider adding a photo or two (with descriptive text) here: http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-32754-1.html

You're right ...we have some real nasties here. Always be careful and vigilant - even in your backyard with the Red-backed Spider that loves to make a home under the lip of the garbage bins.. gangrene-complications for sure.The USA has a lot of nasty critters, but your Aussie critters are in a class of their own.
