Here in Tassie we have just set up a new Basketball team called the Jack-Jumpers [based on our rather nasty ant species] 

Imagine my surprise at this tsuba !  https://www.jauce.com/auction/w482203685

similar or what? [it was either the Jack-Jumper logo or Cyberman!]

You see some odd tsuba from time to time. Good to see another Whovian aboard. John

Can you believe it John, there are people who have never seen a Cyberman? What next, are Daleks just figments of our imagination ? -- I don't think so!

EXTERMINATE EXTERMINATE

For whoever is interested- over Bass Strait from Tasmania into Victoria where we call these aggressive little ants "jump jacks'.  Not important I know but their sting seems to itch and hurt for days. To be avoided always and they seem to like attacking in numbers. All country kids know them.

Yes aggressive miniature versions of Bull ants  [40mm] - sting like a wasp and they keep stinging. Caused at least four deaths between 1980 - 2000. 

Big mandibles but the stinger is in the tail, Jack Jumper size: 12 to 14 mm (0.47 to 0.55 in) They can jump 10cm repeatedly when defending themselves.
