Amazing ant jaws

By Brian Shrader

Posted: Feb. 13, 2009

This one is a couple of years old, but it was new to me.

UC Berkeley spotlighted a kind of ant that uses its incredibly strong jaws to propel itself through the air.  The trap-jaw ant closes its mandibles at 78 to 145 miles per hour.  That force flings the insect through the air.
