Australian TV reporter Alex Bernhardt was bitten by a bull ant, causing her to curse during a report (video below).

According to her employer 9NEWS, the segment was filmed months ago, but never aired. However, it was recently uploaded to Instagram.

"I've just got bitten by a f------ bull ant," Bernhardt says in the video. "F---. Oh my god. Oww, I'm about to cry it's really, really sore."

The Independent notes that Australian bull ants can be as long as an inch-and-a-half, are known to be aggressive and have a painful sting.
