This PNC features a 70c stamp and the Royal Australian Mint $1 coloured coin which is part of an Australia Post Issue of Things That Sting.
Red Bull Ant, alias ‘giant bulldog ant’, alias ‘Hoppy Joe’. Last seen in its natural habitat of southeast Queensland and New South Wales. Believed to be dwelling in elaborate underground nests with two or three guard ants serving as loyal bouncers.
This ant is alleged to be the ringleader of a ruthless food network: extracting liquids from bees and other ants, and feeding the leftovers to its larvae. Witnesses report that the worker ants’ own infertile eggs have also supplemented this diet.
Limited to 11,000 produced.
