Wasn't all of this info about the trap-jaw known at least 10 years ago?
Edward O. Wilson and Bert Holldobler's 1991 (?) book "Journey to the Ants" talks about all of it... the high speeds, the high-framerate camera, the jumping by snapping at something hard, etc etc etc. Maybe I need to check the numbers; this variety might be even faster or something, but it seems like most of it isn't news...
