Those ones that smash their heads are pretty leggy.

That's right, really cool how they evolved this defensive mechanism into older workers.

I remember hearing about Camponotus Saundersi years ago on animal planets top 10 most extreme. It's too bad I still can't find any video of the defensive mechanism in action 
, maybe some day.
I found this when look up Camponotus Saundersi.

Never made that connection to cell, but maybe that is where they got the idea.

I found a photo of this ant in action. https://antyscience....exploding-ants/
Unfortunately it is not as dramatic as the animation and far from destroying the earth.
