Bullet ants are found in the most extreme eastern regions, Honduras and Paraguay, As the name suggests, these ants cause bites that can really make a human feel like a bullet shot on his body.
This bullet ant is considered to be the largest ant species with a length of about 1.2 inches, its sting is even considered more dangerous than the Japanese giant wasps because its bite consists of Poneratoxin which is capable of paralyzing and blocking blood flow in the central nervous system of humans.

In addition to a deadly bite, the ant bullet also has a disgusting aroma to fight its prey but is likely to be attacked immediately if the prey is not afraid.
Examples of cases of bullet ants are commonly found in trees, They will suddenly fall from the tree to the nearest human body, The effects of bites are terrible, the pain can be felt for 24 hours.
