Trivia

• In real life, trap-jaw ants apply their bite force against the ground to jump, not against opposing creatures. They have the second fastest bite speed in the world, only after dracula ants (Mystrium camillae).

• 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 resized soldiers and are available only in Adventure as enemies.

• Beating The Other Foot on any difficulty lets you play as the counterpart colony in custom games.
