Green headed ant

Green-head ants are insects.
They have six legs, like all insects.

The green-head ant is often just called the green ant.

It is a green coloured ant that can be found all over Australia.

We have lots in our garden

They build their nests underground, underneath grasses.

Ouch!

You don't usually feel the bite, but the venom that the ant injects really stings.

Size: 5mm-7mm

First aid: use an ice pack
