I'm not really a fan of spiders. As I get older they actually bother me less and less. I would rather have a spider bite me then one of those effing ants!
Then there are fire ants and stone fish to worry about. Plus some of our spiders are actually really horrible like funnel webs and white tails. Also brown snakes.
Mmmm, no, that page is about ALL ants. Different species have different colony sizes, that's why the range is so big. This type of ant has a relatively small colony size. The post is correct. But really, it doesn't matter if it's hundreds, thousands, or millions, I'd rather see exactly zero of these in my lifetime.

With golden soil-that's full of ants-*stands on a chair* and wealth for toil,
Our home is girt by sea- which is sort of lucky for the rest of the world...
You realise it's "In history's page, let every stage" *moves from my chair to a table* *table is eaten by termites, which have teamed up with the ants*
*makes a ring of gasoline around myself* *lights it on fire* *ants scurry away*
Advance Australia fair!

You have to watch out for those ant/termite hybrids. Also isn't it "In history's page, *let* every stage"?
YES, SORRY. I am going back up to edit that.

We have some sort of weird ant in the south that is very large and venemous, but I don't remember what it's called. I've seen them before and they're reallllllllllly weird.
As an Australian I can confirm this. Ive had spiders in my house big enough for me to wonder if I should consider them in my pizza order, not scared of them at all, but put me on a football field and im scanning the ground like crazy, these guys will eat you if you sit still long enough....
Also these things make boats to get against water with all the smaller ants and larvas on top and all the stronger ants swimming at the bottom and if you push it completly under water they form an effing ball with air in it so the can breathe
That's right, millions.
