The black-banded jumper ant is a large ant that can leap up to 10 centimetres, which is far above its own body length. It lives in eastern Australia, including suburbs of Sydney and Brisbane. Its sting is painful and can cause serious allergic reactions in some people, so it is worth knowing how to recognise it.1

It nests in sandy soil, often under a small mound that looks like a molehill, and hides the nest with twigs, leaves and gravel. Nests are found beside a clump of grass or bush, or at the base of a tree. It prefers dry to semi-dry forests and woodlands, mostly on the coastal plains, and has been found in suburbs such as Heathcote and Como in Sydney.1

Sengatan

Bisanya keluar lewat sengat.

Apa efek bisanya?

Its sting is highly venomous and causes intense burning pain. The burning can last for many days, and the sting itches. If the sting is left untreated, it may develop into an ulcer (an open sore). The venom of a close relative, M. pilosula, is among the strongest of all ants and contains acids, enzymes and phospholipases.1

Seberapa berbahaya bagi manusia?

Bahaya bagi manusia: MenyakitkanBisa sangat sakit, tetapi hampir tidak pernah serius.

A 2011 study of Australian ant allergies found that 265 of 376 participants reacted to the stings of several Myrmecia species, which can cause anaphylaxis (a severe, whole-body allergic reaction). Of these, 15 reacted to this species, while 176 reacted to M. pilosula. The study concluded that Myrmecia species were among four main groups of Australian ants responsible for anaphylaxis.1

Apa yang dilakukannya saat takut?

When threatened, workers and scouts quickly defend the nest and may react aggressively even to a shadow crossing it, bursting out in short hops to attack.1

Jika ia menyengat

  • Cuci dan dinginkan sengatannya.
  • Jika orangnya sulit bernapas, wajah atau tenggorokannya bengkak, atau merasa mau pingsan, itu darurat alergi: hubungi nomor darurat.

Tetap aman

  • Jangan pernah menyentuh, menangkap, atau mengganggu hewan liar, walaupun kecil, dan walaupun tampak tidur atau mati.
  • Beri ia ruang. Jika bertemu, tetap tenang, mundur perlahan, dan biarkan ia pergi.
