The most toxic ants in the world
The bullet ant is one of the ten most poisonous insects in the world, and its name is not due to its bullet-like appearance. It looks like a bee, with a sharp, poisonous tail stinger and strong, powerful upper jaws, and a pair of large pincers. The bullet ant does not move in groups like other ants, but prefers to walk alone and patrol the ground and various plants under the woods.
The bullet ant is an extremely scary creature, but surprisingly, its natural enemy is the small, insignificant humpback fly. The humpback flies are not affected by the toxins of the bullet ants, so they cannot pose the slightest threat to them, so they can easily crawl onto the bullet ants to lay their eggs.
