Ant uses chemicals to bind its own corpse to an attacker

Anyone with a salt lick of sense knows that you do n’t go up against emmet in a fighting , particularly if they ’re Camponotus cylindricus . Try anything , and they ’ll detonate themselves and decorate your body with their army corps .

Camponotus cylindricus is a red - dark-brown pismire that crawls around the Borneo forest , throw life miserable for any creature that attempts to assault its nest . The ants have managed to work out a system of ego - defense that involves not only aggregate suicide , but mass chemical substance explosion .

The ant plan of attack is horrifying . When a strange creature approaches the nest of pismire , the sentry ants wo n’t just prick it , they ’ll seek to climb up to its face and grab hold of it with their teeth . Since they do n’t have any kind of timed explosion gear , they ca n’t simply snuff it quickly . Instead , they bend their bodies so violently that their outside burst and a layer of chemicals set off ahead like juice out of a extort orange fade .

The liquid state ( which is , actually , orange ) is carried in special sacking that run away the length of the ant ’s body . The compartments are specially delineate , because the liquid state is foul stuff . Not only is it an irritant to any external organs , it dries solidly enough to permanently glue the ant ’s physical structure to its attackers . This is why the emmet will try out to catch on to the intruder ’s face . With any circumstances , this will dim the attacker , or seal off its sass close , and keep it from get going on to the rest of the beehive . Even if the ant does n’t get to dim the attacker , it makes an unwieldy burden that the beast has to carry around for the balance of its life sentence .
