Fertilized Queen with some brood.
Very popular and interesting species. Trap Jaws can be Polygynous. They are known to produce a small clicking sound. Very entertaining ants to observe. Omnivore.
Odontomachus Haematodus have a pair of large, straight mandibles capable of opening 180°. These jaws are locked in place by an internal mechanism, and can snap shut on prey or objects when sensory hairs on the inside of the mandibles are touched. The mandibles are powerful and fast, giving the ant its common name. The mandibles either kill or maim the prey, allowing the ant to bring it back to the nest.
Please note, Queens will often consume brood due to the stress that comes with shipping. Once settled in her new home she will begin laying eggs again.
