Black-banded jumper ant
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

Uni qanday tanish mumkin
- Mostly black and orange-red in colour.1
- The gaster (rear body), head, legs and mesonotum (middle back) are black, while the pronotum, propodeum, petiole and post-petiole are red.1
- Mandibles (jaws) are either black or yellow, depending on where the ant lives.1
- Workers are 13 to 15 mm long, males 16 to 17 mm, and queens 17 to 19 mm.1
- It can leap 76 to 102 mm by suddenly extending its middle and hind legs.1
Koʻpincha adashtiriladi: It is often confused with other Myrmecia species. It can be told apart by its bi-coloured thorax and post-petiole, which are yellowish-red and black, and by its yellowish-red node.1
Zahar quvvati
Zahar nish orqali chiqadi.
Uning zahari (chaqsa yoki nish ursa) nima qiladi?
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
Odamlar uchun qanchalik xavfli?
Odamlar uchun xavf: OgʻriqliJuda ogʻritishi mumkin, lekin deyarli hech qachon jiddiy emas.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
Qoʻrqqanda nima qiladi?
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
Agar nish ursa
- Nish urgan joylarni yuv va sovut.
- Agar odamning nafas olishi qiyinlashsa, yuzi yoki tomogʻi shishsa yoki hushidan ketayotgandek boʻlsa, bu allergik favqulodda holat: favqulodda yordam raqamiga qoʻngʻiroq qil.
Har doim avval favqulodda yordam raqamiga qoʻngʻiroq qil (112, 000, 911). Bu birinchi yordam boʻyicha umumiy maslahat, tibbiy maslahat emas. Birinchi yordam asoslari
Xavfsiz boʻl
- Hech qachon yovvoyi hayvonga tegma, uni tutma yoki jigʻiga tegma, hatto kichkina boʻlsa ham va hatto uxlayotgan yoki oʻlik koʻrinsa ham.
- Unga joy ber. Agar duch kelsang, xotirjam boʻl, sekin orqaga chekin va uni oʻz yoʻliga ketishiga qoʻy.
- Agar biri senga nish ursa: xotirjam boʻl, qimirlamay tur, favqulodda yordam raqamiga qoʻngʻiroq qil (112, 000, 911) yoki tezda kasalxonaga yet. U qanday koʻrinishda ekanini eslab qol, surat yordam beradi.
U seni ovlamoqchi emas. Zaharini ovqat tutish yoki oʻzini himoya qilish uchun ishlatadi va yashirinishni ancha afzal koʻradi. Xavfsiz qolish haqida batafsil

Faktlar
It can jump between 76 and 102 mm, which is far more than its own body length.1
Colonies can continue without a queen, because workers can lay fertile eggs.1
It often forages in trees, where it visits the flowers of some eucalyptus and senna plants and may help pollinate them.1
A worker can live for over a year, with a maximum of about 1.3 years.1
Its nests are camouflaged with twigs, leaves, gravel and other plant material.1
