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. The toxicity of the venom may have evolved due to the intense predation by animals and birds during the day, since "Myrmecia" is primarily diurnal. In Tasmania, 2–3% of the human population is allergic to "M. pilosula" venom. In comparison, only 1.6% people are allergic to the venom of the western honeybee ("Apis mellifera"), and 0.6% to the venom of the European wasp ("Vespula germanica"). In a 2011 Australian ant-venom allergy study, the objective of
Ant on a rubber rope the end of each second. Let formula_16 be the proportion of the distance from the starting-point to the target-point which the ant has covered at time "t". So formula_17. In the first second the ant travels distance formula_18, which is formula_19 of the distance from the starting-point to the target-point (which is formula_20 throughout the first second). When the rope stretches suddenly and instantaneously, formula_16 remains unchanged, because the ant moves along with the rubber where it is at that moment. So formula_22. In the next second the ant travels distance formula_18 again, which is formula_24 of the distance from
