    My late Grandma grew up in Guatemala, and told us that the "Indios," as they were commonly known, the native people, would use ants similar to these when suffering a cut that we would see as needing stitches. An ant was held over the cut until its jaws were triggered, closing the wound. The body was quickly twisted off and the head would remain attached as a sort of formic suture. A line of these would stitch up the gash and they were good to go!

    8:38 A bit of a correction: there he's likely referring to the Asian Pericapritermes nitobei termites (who became relatively notorious a while ago for dethroning Mystrium in blow speed), however they don't do the "basically the same thing" at all but employ a very different technique than the one used by Mystrium: the asymmetrical snapping, totally unique to termites. This advanced technique involve highly assimmetrical and very weirdly shaped mandibles (along with a big head full of muscles) and work on a different principle tha the symmetrical snap used by Mystrium (and several termite species aswell), allowing their blows to reach velocities unmatchable by symmetrical snappers (or any other snapping ants). P. nitobei soldiers snaps at up to 121 meters per seconds, well above the 90 meters per second reached by Mystrium, but they're still not the fastest known animal movement in the world: that trophy is currently held by another much larger asymmetrical snapping termite: Neocapritermes taracua from South America. This very interesting species (beside being known for the kamikaze toxic "backpacks" their older workers are equipped with) have soldiers than can snap at a whopping 153 meters per second (as very recently registered by termitologist Jan Sobotnik and his team), which neatly beat P. nitobei's (and shatters Mystrium's) "scores". Said so, though there are a lot of termite species that employ the asymmetrical snapping technique, only these these two had their snap speed measured, so the real "fastest blow in the animal Kingdom" is likely still hiding among them, unknown to us due to a lack of research on termites.

      The year they stopped teaching it, there were 12 pregnancies.
      Well, as they say Jesus loves the little children (even if they're illegitimate and unvaccinated. )
      I would totally show the kids that part of this video, not that that would make a difference.
      I once had a kid tell me there was guano in the Monster energy drink he was happily consuming. ( there isn’t)
      I asked him if he knew what guano was?
      He proudly said “bird poop”.
      So I asked if he thought it had bird poop in it, why was he still drinking.?
      I increasingly have no illusion about the future of our species.
      In fact I wish we would just get it over with before we take everything else with us.
