Besides getting swooped by magpies and your topmost layer of sunburn peeling off like snakeskin every summer, getting bitten by a bull ant was hands-down one of the worst experiences of being a child in Australia. Those tenacious little fuckers had jaws like bear traps, and resolutely refused to die no matter how many times you stomped on them.

Today Show reporter Alex Bernhardt was forced to relive those traumatic childhood days on-air this morning, when a rogue bull ant decided to make friends with her foot while she was trying to do a news report. Karl Stefanovic responded by cackling and punching the air with glee, because he is a truly bad man.

Asked for comment, the bull ant in question said: “KREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE –”
