Has anyone ever told you about driver’s ants’ back-up job when they get tired of running in marching formation eating everything in sight, live or dead? They will give up their lives to be suture – if you line them up properly over whatever it is you want clamped shut, they’ll chomp down and they’ll lose their heads before they’ll let go. I once had a hitchhiking driver’s ant’s head on my flipflop – I’m not even sure how long it had been there before I noticed it.
Here’s brave Timothy Chapman, taking the pain of these pincers so you can see how it works!
Just in case.
