Myrmecia
is a large, active, and conspicuous element of the Australian fauna, and with the exception of a rare New Caledonian species it is found nowhere else. Commonly known as bull ants and jack jumpers, these insects are known by Australians for the aggressive defense of their nests and their painful stings.
Myrmecia pilosula is smaller than its bull ant relatives and can be identified by a silver-gray body with yellow antennae, mandibles, and forelegs.
