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:
