只是会疼会疼，但不会对你造成严重伤害。
蚂蚁 蜇伤吃：肉
对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼，但几乎从不严重。

The Burchell's army ant is a tropical ant that moves in huge, organised swarms called raids. It lives in the jungles of Central and South America. Its raids are so large that many other animals, including birds, follow them to catch prey.1

它吃什么？
Colonies go on daily or near-daily raids to capture insects and other small prey. Inbound ants carry the prey back to the colony. They also raid wasp nests and eat the larvae and pupae inside.1

怎样认出它

  • Colour varies from deep golden to dark brown.1
  • Workers are 3 mm to 12 mm long, and there are four sizes of worker.1
  • Soldiers have much larger heads and long, pointed, sickle-shaped jaws (mandibles).1
  • Long legs and an elongated body give it a spider-like appearance.1
  • Raids move as a loose swarm over the leaf litter on the forest floor.1

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 很疼可能真的很疼，但几乎从不严重。

它害怕时会做什么？

Soldier ants have much larger heads and specialised jaws for defence, and workers have a well-developed sting.1

如果它蜇人

  • 清洗并冷敷蜇伤处。
  • 如果这个人呼吸困难、脸或喉咙肿胀，或感觉要晕倒，这是过敏急症：拨打急救电话。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。 急救基础

注意安全

  • 永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
  • 给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
  • 如果被它蜇了：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识

事实

1

Workers can link their bodies to form living bridges and fill holes in the trail, so the whole colony can move faster.1

2

A single raid can be up to 200 metres long and use up to 200,000 ants.1

3

Over 500 other species live around these colonies, more than for any other single species, and over 300 are thought to depend on them.1

4

Colonies move their living nest, called a bivouac, almost every night, taking six to eight hours to relocate.1

5

Colonies can have 100,000 to 600,000 adult ants, all from one queen.1

6

Workers are a mix of four sizes, and genetics as well as diet affect which size an ant becomes.1
