A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Rhytidoponera metallica,
6mm ant with green head and thorax, black abdomen
Found all over Australia in leaf litter, lawns and other places
Sitting in the grass reading reading a book one would suddenly find they had a ring of painful welt around the edge of their socks or on their wrist. These little ants have been known for sneaking up and biting people for as long as I can remember
