Ants dancing in the air

Researchers at Berkeley published on PNAS the fastest action in the animal kindom: ants snaps shut its teeth at an amazing speed of 64 meters per second! (See report on New Scientist). In stead of bitting, the super-fast snap can be also used to catapult the ants themselves to safety. See the two movies in the article---nothing can be more fun than the slow motion of flying ants!
