Trap-jaw ant C013 / 7054
Trap-jaw ant. Close-up of a trap-jaw ant (Odontomachus bauri), showing its large mandibles (right) protruding to the left and right of the head. This Central and South American ant species has spring-loaded serrated jaws to allow it to trap prey quickly. The jaws can close within 0.5 milliseconds, moving at over 50 metres per second, which makes them among the fastest movements in the animal world. They also use this power to propel themselves away from attackers, achieving heights of up to 8.3 metres and horizontal distances of 39.6 cm

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable trap-jaw ant, known as Odontomachus bauri, in all its glory. The close-up shot showcases the ant's extraordinary feature - its large mandibles that protrude to both sides of its head. With a black background emphasizing its intricate details, this Central and South American species displays an awe-inspiring adaptation for hunting prey. Equipped with spring-loaded serrated jaws, these ants possess one of the fastest movements in the animal kingdom. In just 0.5 milliseconds, their powerful jaws can snap shut at speeds exceeding 50 meters per second! Not only do they use this incredible force to swiftly capture unsuspecting victims but also to propel themselves away from potential threats. Astonishingly, they can achieve heights up to 8.3 meters and cover horizontal distances of up to 39.6 centimeters. The trap-jaw ant's specialized anatomy is a testament to nature's ingenuity and adaptability. Its antennae and mouthparts are finely tuned for precision movement and deadly accuracy when seizing prey or escaping predators. This photograph not only highlights the beauty found within entomology but also serves as a reminder of the diverse wonders present in our world's ecosystems. It offers us a glimpse into the fascinating realm of these tiny yet mighty creatures who have evolved unique strategies for survival. Photo credit: Patrick Landmann/Science Photo Library
