Myrmecia queenslandica is an Australian ant species. Abundant to most states in Australia, and mainly seen in Queensland, they belong to the Myrmecia genus.[1]
The typical length of a Myrmecia queenslandica bull ant is 11-13 millimetres. The appearance of this species is similar to Myrmecia michaelseni, and also are similar size. Most of their body is black, but pubescence on the gaster has a more yellowish colour.[2][3]
