he results of the team’s investigation, published in Royal Society Open Science, showed that Mystrium camillae can snap its mandibles at a speed of up to 90 meters per second (more than 200 miles per hour).
That is amazing. The Mantis Shrimp beats its prey to death by hitting them with a pincer at 51 MPH. That's fast enough that the prey animal takes a second blow from the cavitation bubbles collapsing and forming an underwater shock wave.
But this ant is 4 times faster in its strike which is just mind boggling.

My science is a bit rusty but air offers less resistance than water. While 4x seems faster, relative to surrounding resistance, does that diminish the speed below 4x?
