Indian jumping ant
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

- 给它留出空间。如果遇到它,保持冷静,慢慢后退,让它走自己的路。
- 如果被它蜇了:保持冷静,保持不动,拨打你的急救电话(112、000、911)或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样,拍张照片会有帮助。
它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己,而且它更愿意躲起来。 更多安全知识

事实
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
When workers become queens or gamergates, their brains become smaller.1
Some workers can mate and lay fertilised eggs just like the queen. These workers are called gamergates.1
Enzymes that slow ageing are increased when workers turn into reproductives.1
The nest entrance is closed by the ants in the evening and reopened during the day.1
