 and lead author of the study. Welcome to you. So tell us more. What do the ants do? Yes, hello. Thank you for having me. So basically what we discovered is that these ants, when they get injured higher up on the leg and they lose the leg, other ants inside the nest would start licking the wound with their mouth parts, cleaning it, sterilizing it, and after a few minutes start to move up the leg to the shoulder and would bite it for many minutes at a time until the leg falls off.
