| Insects - Bites and Stings (873 words) |
 | People who are hyper-allergic to bee stings should also take great care to avoid being stung by ants. |
| Ants from the subfamilies Ponerinae (Green Head ants and others), Myrmeciinae (Bulldog ants, Jack Jumpers), and Myrmecinae (includes the introduced Fire ant) all have functional stings. |
| Many of the most common ants such as the Dolichoderinae (Meat ants, Coconut ants, Argentine ants) and Formicinae (Sugar ants, Green Tree ants) do not have functional stings, and rely on spraying noxious chemicals at potential threats. |
