Bulldog Ant

"Fearless and belligerent, the inch-long bulldog ant of Australia uses her sharp vision and venomous stinger to track and subdue formidable prey."

  

Bulldog Ants aren't just any ordinary Sugar Ant. Not only are they extremely venomous and have extremely painful stingers, they're rumored to be descendants from wasplike creatures! The simplest way that a Bulldog Ant kills is to jump on the creature or merely bite, which releases dangerous, toxic venom into their victims body, killing them quickly. And these victims are huge bees and other ants. Here's a Bulldog Ant attacking a bee:

The Weta

It's a rare thing to spot a Weta in any place except for New Zealand. Weta's can be found in many different climates/locations such as alpine, forests, grasslands, caves, shrub lands and gardens. A Weta is a very large insect, some Weta's even considered to be the largest and heaviest in all of the World. Their appearance resembles a cockroach and cricket but in addition has extremely long legs. Here's what a Weta looks like:

 

A Weta likes to eat other small invertebrates but a particular group of Weta bugs like to eat leaves, flowers and fruit. Weta bugs do bite humans and they can be extrememly painful but being bitten by a Weta bug is uncommon...as long as you don't bother it!
