The Indian jumping ant is a small ant found in India. It hunts alone or in small groups and can leap up to 2 cm high and 10 cm far, both to escape and to catch insects in the air. It is best left alone, because the original description says it bites and stings severely.1

1

Workers can jump up to 2 cm high and 10 cm far, using a synchronised push from their middle and hind pairs of legs.1

2

When workers become queens or gamergates, their brains become smaller.1

3

Some workers can mate and lay fertilised eggs just like the queen. These workers are called gamergates.1

4

Enzymes that slow ageing are increased when workers turn into reproductives.1

5

The nest entrance is closed by the ants in the evening and reopened during the day.1
