• [Species name]: Myrmecia gulosa
  [Image]:
  [Authority]: Fabricius
  [Year]: 1775
  [Description]: M. gulosa is found throughout the eastern states and territories of Australia. It is a large species, with workers measuring 14 to 26 millimetres (0.55 to 1.02 in). The queens are the largest at 27 to 29 millimetres (1.06 to 1.14 in) and males 17 to 21 millimetres (0.67 to 0.83 in). The colour of the queen is similar to that of a worker, but can be distinguished by its larger size and abundant pilosity. Most of the body is yellowish red, but the posterior margin of the first segment of the gaster is black. All of the apical segments are also black. Unlike the males, whose mandibles are short, the mandibles of the worker and queen are almost as long as the head.
