Jack Jumpers use their impressive jaws to catch and hold prey and a sting to defend themselves and their nest (Photo A. Narendra).
Join ant specialist Ajay Narendra to learn amazing things about jack-jumpers and other ants that live on Mount Majura.
Ants are fascinating, beautiful and fun to watch. Some ants have a painful sting, and others only bite. Some ants are coloured, or scented, or hairy. Some pretend to be spiders, a few have excellent eyesight, and one species can jump!
Kids accompanied by adults are especially welcome.
