🐜Paraponera clavata

Paraponera clavata (Fabricius, 1775)

サシハリアリ（刺針蟻）またはパラポネラ (Paraponera clavata) はアリの一種である。ニカラグアからパラグアイまでの、湿潤な低地多雨林に生息する。刺されたときの痛みが激しいアリとして知られ、痛みが24時間続くことから24時間アリ（スペイン語 hormiga veinticuatro）、その痛みが銃弾に撃たれたようなショックであることから弾丸アリ（英語 bullet ant）とも呼ばれる。また、英語では lesser giant hunting ant とも呼ばれる。
