Mystrium camillae Rearing Sheet
Mystrium camillae is the Dracula ant. The workers can feed on the blood of the larvae, but they can also feed directly on insects if there aren’t enough larvae. They hold the record for the fastest animal movement in the world thanks to their mandibles, which can snap shut at 200 km/h!!
Their behavior is truly incredible, and they will never cease to amaze you.
