Australian Bulldog worker ants and Bullet ants grow to 2.5 cm., which makes them the largest worker ants. But, of course, queen ants are the biggest in each breed of ants, though I don't know how big the Bulldog ant queens are. A queen Driver ant can reach up to 5 cm, and soldier Driver ants can grow to 1.5 cm.

"Cow Killer" ants are really wingless wasps also known as "Velvet Ants" or by their scientific name "Mutillidae." They do live in colonies and treatment for any type of sting by these wasps is the same as any other wasp sting. They are called cow killers because they sting is so painful, that it could kill a cow. I have these all around my house, and we cannot seem to get rid of them. As long as you don't bother them, they will leave you alone. Although the flying male cow killers are intimidating. they wont hurt you.

Ant cows are aphids that produce a sugary substance called honeydew that ants feed on. Ants "milk" the aphids by stroking them with their antennae to encourage the release of honeydew. In exchange, the ants protect the aphids from predators and move them to new food sources.
