Trap-jaw ant C013 / 7058
Trap-jaw ant. Close-up of a trap-jaw ant (Odontomachus bauri), showing its large mandibles protruding to the left and right of its head (centre). 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 showcases the remarkable trap-jaw ant, C013 / 7058. The close-up image reveals the awe-inspiring sight of this Central and South American species with its enormous mandibles extending to both sides of its head. These spring-loaded serrated jaws serve a crucial purpose - capturing prey in lightning-fast fashion. In fact, the trap-jaw ant's jaws can snap shut within an astonishing 0.5 milliseconds, propelling it to be one of the fastest movements recorded in the animal kingdom. Not only does this incredible ability aid in hunting, but it also serves as a means of defense against attackers. With their powerful jaw movement, these ants can propel themselves up to heights reaching 8.3 meters and cover horizontal distances of up to 39.6 centimeters – truly impressive for such tiny creatures. The black background accentuates every intricate detail on this single specimen; from its antennae that play a vital role in sensing its environment to the deadly precision exhibited by its specialized mouthparts. This photograph is not just a testament to nature's wonders but also highlights the fascinating world of entomology and zoology. Patrick Landmann's expert photography captures this moment frozen in time, allowing us to marvel at the extraordinary capabilities possessed by these small yet mighty creatures known as trap-jaw ants (Odontomachus bauri).
