Imagine biting a burger so hard you literally fall out of your chair or go flying back 5 feet. That's this ant. He bit with his entire life force rofl

I can't get over the ants flying around stuff as a board.

Ant: "I've got you now, die human!" Also ant: *ricochets off into the distance*

Wow. I feel the equivalent for humans is clapping and propelling yourself into the 4th floor of a building

Ant: **Snaps** **Flys back from recoil** Ant: 👁👄👁

I love how she just sends herself flying without doing any actual damage to the finger “My actions were calculated, but man am I bad at math.”

Give this man a medal for actually putting what we came for at the start of the video. The remaining 4 minutes of explanation were also nice

This is how you make a good video, thank you! The footage we want to see right at the beginning... uncut. Informative and to the point. No advertising or sidetracked gimmicks. Thanks, you did a great job here 👍

0:12 had me dying already

2:49 this guy punch the ground just so he can do a backflip

The ant biting and falling off the table was the funniest thing- it was kind of adorable, which is something I didn't think I would say about an ant. She's just like "Noooooooooo-!"

I love how the ant moved as he’s propelled by his own attack off the edge of the table “ahhhhh anger was my undoooiiinggg!!!! I wish I hugged my son mooooore!!!!”

Ant at 2:48 be like: "Don't mind me bro, just gonna yeet myself into oblivion for no reason"

This was incredible. I'm so impressed that you can get shots like these... Wow.

I haven’t even gotten past the title and the ant flying back already has me in tears from laughing.

0:05 *record scratch* “yep, that’s me. I bet you’re wondering how I ended up in this situation! Well it all started back in...” *Baba O’Riley by The Who starts playing*

Imagine accidentially stepping into a nest of these guys and seeing ants ricochet off your feet all over the place...

The beginning clip was a visual representation of starting an argument you are not NEARLY informed enough to be in

"Mildred. Don't do it, don't do it he's bigger than you." [ant snaps jaws and goes flying] "Oop. Well, there she did it. Jerry, Mildred's gone off the table again."

This video is amazing, you are very talented. Thank you very much! Cheers from Brazil.

It’s like a little kid holding a shotgun and everytime he shoots he just flies backwards

another amazing video! It blows my mind how high quality of footage you're able to get of these ants.

Unironically ecstatic to see a video about this really specific thing that I've had vested interest in. Your channel is awesome!

I'm an old woman and I just love learning these details of the insect world so beautifully presented with your excellent photography. I can't help thinking that school kids would enjoy them too if they were shown in schools.

I couldn’t stop laughing when the ant went flying

3:23 So badass how she manages to keep herself on the ground after that strike

I just found your channel. Love it! I used to spend so much time as a kid on my stomach in the grass watching bugs. Miss that.

I hope it's been documented and I'm just an uneducated layman, but it seems like these ants use their antenna/feelers to find out if it's a fellow colony mate, or an intruder/aggressor/prey/the ground. See 1:32 as an example of the ant investigating your finger with it's feelers, and when it didn't recognize you, the hair trigger pulled. At 2:45 you can also see the antenna/feelers touching the ground first, and when the hair trigger touches the ground it immediately snaps like a trap. At 3:22 you can see the ant withdraw the feelers and move ahead to let the jaw trigger hairs clamp on the unapproved object. This is fascinating and I really appreciate your work.

2:47 that's my favorite acrobat look at how graceful he is

Are we lucky ants aren’t bigger than they presently are? *Yes*

It was so nice of you to answer the question seriously and not making fun of the question in any way. That shows you are really here to teach. Thank you for the great video.

Your contents are so interesting, and everything is explained so well that even without a proper knowledge you manage to follow. Keep going man!

0:02 “Impossible, no one can deflect the emerald jaw”

0:10 "Curse you perry the platypus!"

Just a thank-you-note: keep making these wonderful videos, please. They are amazing.

The way you explain is so easy to understand and lovely to listen to. Learning so much from your videos, thank you for sharing them!

0:08 good night girl, I’ll see you tomorrow.

"could this sever my finger?" Yes, of course, the tiny pincers on that tiny insect could cut through an appendage with bones over three times as thick as said pincers are long.

I love how in half your slow-mo videos the insects fall behind the platform in a dramatic blur with their arms up in the air.

This is my new favorite channel. Great content!

I love how the ant just skyrim ragdolls away at the beginning

“So that’s what a mandible strike against a finger looks like - it doesn’t hurt!” Ant who tried her best : 🥺😭

This was way more interesting than I thought it would be. Great video!

You deserve way more subscribers. Your work is awesome and important to appreciate insects.

3:06 me waking up in the morning -_-

“Oh crap, oh crap, AAAAAA-“ 0:12

I started watching these videos out of curiosity, but now I watch them to relax after a long day at work... keep up the epic work bro 🔥

This is some amazing footage, really. Thank you for taking the time to make this

As Bender once said. “Do a flip!” 2:50

ant: *snap* also ant: *falls off* impossible

Brilliant. Love the fact that you invested the time and resources to answer some random guy's question. Kudos.

This was really cool! It's great to learn something new about things I've not put much thought into 🙂 thanks for your work and putting these videos out 🤙🏼😎

0:11 ILL GET YOU NEXT TIME FINGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER

2:53 sends himself flying

I’m really enjoying your videos . Thanks for the new perspectives

Thank you for making and posting this. Extremely interesting.

0:09 I CANT STOP LAUGHING AT THIS

3:22 I can feel the ant's pain.

I have watched two videos about ants by this young man. They are fascinating! Well filmed and well explained. Thank you!

Very informative, professionally filmed !! It widens our knowledge !!

0:03 Hitting someone with a shield on a cliff be like

3:12 Looked like he was floating through space.

Wow, I love how you put the action shot right at the beginning and don't try to tease us or drag it out. I love ants :)

Truly amazing! Your channel is very informative and you explain things very well and articulately so that people understand it clearly.

3:22 I have no doubt that if its brain was the same as of humans, this would give it a concussion.

2:49 Ant flip Ant flip

I just watched your slow motion video. It was so relaxing. Now I’m making my way through.

What a thorough in depth view on these ants. Thank you.

0:03-0:14: - Trap-jaw is charging up an attack! - Trap-jaw used Jaw Snap! - it's not very effective - - Trap-jaw is damaged by recoil! -

0:11 "LONG LIVES THE KING" "AHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Excellent video as always!

These little guys were my favorite animal as a kid! Really interesting video!

Can we all appreciate how good of quality this video is without any tryhard techniques to make the viewers have to watch the whole video? The first thing you saw was the answer to the question, the secondthing was him saying the answer to then question, then the video continued with stuff i never thought was so damn interesting! Man, this is probably the video on KZfaq to deserve to be watched in full length the most. I enjoyed every split second of it even tho i am not really into all that so much.

This is the KZfaq I believe it can be. This is great stuff!

Got this recommended many times. Not sure why but was a nice watch. Math, physics, biology and video recording explanations with detailed numbers.

Excellent video, very professional, scientific approach, just got a new subscriber

3:24 This ant is the giga-chad of trap-jaw ants

Friend: There she is, now's the time to impress her. Me: 2:49

Thanks dude, this was interesting, keep up the good work

I really want to thank you brother for showing the clip right from the beginning instead of making a ten minute video talking about the ants

@ 3:23 I think it’s amazing to see the entire body of the ant absorb the shock so efficiently.

3:22 Now *that's* how it's done!

I had an unpleasant encounter with an odontomachus some years ago, in South America. I woke up to its stinging my finger. Then I placed it in a small glass container and saw it trying to get out. I heard its jaws snapping against the container walls, sounding like a click. I had never seen anything like that before. If you see one of those, do not step on them. It will stink!

I'm glad I came across ur channel when I did a few hrs ago , i always wanted to know more but the world i live in they dont see being educated as a trait to have when something bad happens thanks for having a spine i lack ... just know I appreciate the time and effort u put in on knowing this about the insect an critters world keep doing what you're doing and dont let others make u think it's not important

I used to play with these when I was a kid, I always thought they were really good at jumping but in reality they were bitting my fingers and I never even realized. This goes to show how facinating physics can be.

0:10 I feel like I just watched an video game RPG moment, where an enemy strikes, but then there's a notification word 'Immune' that pops up when the attack connects, but does nothing...

I don't have any question now, but I want to express gratitude for your videos: I appreciate them very much.

You had me hooked the whole time despite answering the questions first thing

you have to collaborate with insecthaus_adi ! 😄

The ant flew away like he was rocket-jumping in TF2

As the ant attacks the human finger it falls to it's death as the finger shouts "THIS IS SPARTAN"

THIS IS SO FUNNY but also educational and extremely entertaining!!!!! i learned a lot and this is seriously so awesome to watch. the perfect blend of science and entertainment :-] this makes me truly want to pursue entomology, i just love bugs so much!!

This was amazing to watch! thanks for making it :)

0:11 at this moment you can see the ant saying “I don’t feel so good”

Fantastic presentation.. Nicely done!

Why am I see this NOW? This is amazing, keep up the good work, love from Argentina

Some wicked cool footage in this video! Love seeing trap-jaws in action.

This is some quality ant related content! Keep up the great work!

Very very well done and informative.

Such a beautiful example of Newton's 3rd law & the conservation of momentum. If some day I use this in class, I'll encourage my students to come here and watch more.
