The Malaysian exploding ant (Camponotus saundersi) which is known for its explosive self-defense mechanism. No, they are not terrorists. These creatures have the ability to explode when threatened. These ants follow one strict rule where protecting the colony is its number one priority. In an instance when a predator attacks the colony, groups come marching right up to the "enemy". Once they are in range, they contract their abdomen, which causes its venom-filled glands to rupture, spraying deadly poison at the threat. The ants die with honor, saving their colony, protecting their one rule. The predator is defeated for the venom is deadly enough to take it down.
These ants are so brave, fighting for their colony till their very last breath to defend it. Their patriotism should be admired and looked up upon.
