"Motor mouth.
The blink of a human eye is slow compared to the speed of the Trap-jaw ant’s jaw.
The human eye blinks shut and opens again in one-third of a second.
The jaws of these ants work 1,000 times faster. The fastest strike recorded was a mere 0.33 milliseconds. ",
"Ditch diggers.
The Trap-jaw ant can’t dig like the Fire ant.
While their pincers might be strong (hence the term 'trap jaw'), they aren’t diggers. To build their nests they use an old twig to dig out the soil.
When they move their young to the nest they use a second pair of pincers so they won’t hurt the fragile larvae.",
"Liquid diet.
The Trap-jaw ant can’t swallow solid food. While they are competent hunters, their big jaws aren’t designed for chewing.
Instead they kill their prey, then chew it to get to the juices out of its body.",
"Killer bites.
The Trap-jaw ant is one of the fiercest ants in the world.
While they only measure three-quarters of an inch, they have a powerful pair of jaws which can inflict serious harm on other insects and small animals.
Even the tough scorpion can be killed by a couple of Trap-jaw ants because their pincers are so sharp.",
"Snapped shut.
The Trap-jaw ant’s snap-jaw mechanism is set-off by sensitive hairs.
At the side of their mandibles they have hairs which are touch-sensitive. Touching one, sets off both jaws.
Energy is stored in the large closing muscles, which is like the cocking of a spring or catapult. A smaller muscle rotates a jaw joint to release the energy and snap the trap.",
"Removable jaws.
The Trap-jaw’s gigantic mandibles make it the hammerhead shark of the ant world.
Its huge mandibles protrude to the sides, and its jaws are remarkably strong. If the ant clamps onto something too smooth and round, its jaws can slip off.",
"Ant war!
Trap-jaw ants are found in the rainforests of Costa Rica and other warm climates.
They often do battle with Army ants. To stop enemies as they approach, the Trap-jaw ant sprays a sticky poisonous liquid from its abdomen."];
