The inchman ant is a large bull ant found in south-eastern Australia. It is most common in the Australian Alps, but it also lives near sea level around Melbourne and in Tasmania. Its sting is one of the most powerful venoms in the insect world, so it is important to know what it looks like.1

Its venom is similar to the venom of wasps, bees and fire ants, and is one of the most powerful in the insect world. The sting causes local swelling, reddening and fever, followed by a blister. The heart rate increases and blood pressure falls rapidly. In some people the venom causes anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction that can be fatal.1
