Colobopsis explodens is a unique species of ant commonly known as the "exploding ant." Found in Southeast Asia, these insects have a remarkable defense mechanism where they rupture their own bodies to release a sticky, toxic substance that immobilizes their enemies. This self-sacrificial behavior is believed to protect the colony from predators and intruders. The exploding ants are known for their distinctive bright red heads and are a fascinating subject of study for entomologists.
