We have many different species in Australia, the most commonly known is the carpenter ant, bull, green-headed, sugar, jumper, meat, and green tree. It’s the green ants that can actually inject venom. The jumper ant can cause a severe allergic reaction. Other species such as the meat and the green tree don’t sting but bite and spray formic acid into the wound.
