Trap-Jaw Ants

This has to be one of the oddest (and strangely mesmerizing) things on the net: ants flying through the air in extreme slow motion propelled by the rapid closing of their jaws. All set to a very peculiar sound track. The ant at the top of the image above is cart-wheeling its way over the other two.

They accelerate their mandibles at 100000 X the acceleration of gravity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know just enough about physics to realize how ridiculous it is that the shutting of their mandibles, which weigh 0.1-1 gram total, can propel them that far into the air and cause 60 hertz of rotational speed. INSANE! Suck it MANTIS SHRIMP!
