Almost an exclusive Australian species, they are widely distributed across all countries. Typically found outdoors, they build their nests underground, although some prefer a hollowed tree trunk or rotten log. The nest is difficult to find as it features a small opening which is covered with debris or plants. They’ll attack any intruder that comes close to the nest.
