The Darth Vader Ant with Superhero Gliding Skills
Meanwhile over in South America, an ant that looks like Darth Vader has evolved superhero gliding skills. OK, that may be a case of hyperbolics but the Ark in Space today features Cephalotes atratus which has more than just a trick up its sleeves if it falls from the canopy. When falling, the ant utilizes posture to perform maneuvers which enable it to glide back on to the branch. Take a look at this fascinating creature over at The Ark in Space.
