Trivia

• In real life, trap-jaw ants apply their bite force against the ground to jump. In the game, this ability only inflicts very small damage.

• In real life, trap-jaw ants can sting. The developers don't implement this in the game to focus on their jumping gimmick.

• Trap-jaw ants have been confirmed to be unplayable as complete colonies because they don't form trails while hunting. Trap-jaw ant queen and workers are available only in Adventure as enemies and are actually gene-thief ants in the game files.
