Mostly formic acid.

"Formic" means "ant type".

Formic acid was first discovered in ants; that is why they called it formic acid.

Actually, the acid doesn't get injected, only squirted into the wound made by the bite. Some ants have stings and inject poison with the sting, but the poison does not usually contain much formic acid, but more dangerous poisons.
