Myrmecia (ant) encountered before. Based on five species, the median lethal dose (LD) is 0.18–0.35 mg/kg, making it among the most toxic venoms in the insect world.

ANT+ ANT+ ANT+ (pronounced "ant plus") is a wireless protocol for monitoring sensor data such as a person's heart rate or a bicycle's tyre/tire pressure, as well as the control of systems like indoor lighting or a television set. ANT+ is designed and maintained by the ANT+ Alliance which is managed by ANT Wireless, a division of Dynatream Innovations owned by Garmin. It is based on the ANT protocol. ANT+ is designed for collection and transfer of sensor data and the integration of remote control systems such as controlling indoor lighting or a television set. ANT+ is used in Garmin's line
