This guy (Bull Ant, Myrmecia Gratiosa) was protecting his nest in our back yard and was determined to warn me off

These shots are 1:1 no cropping

Thanks for the comments guys
I do like these critters
For those that haven't seen them before they get up to 30mm long and have a sting in their tail, so both ends can be painful :-)

A big ant that got in the way of a small ant colony, big time. It sort of went to pieces, literally!

It didn't take them long either.

My ambition for a good while is to grow old disgracefully. So far my wife tells me that I am doing really well!
