At this time, the worker ant immediately begins to strongly contract its abdominal muscles.
In an instant, the worker ant’s stomach bursts, and poison spews out through the wrinkles in the segments between the stomachs, spreading in all directions.
At this time, the worker ants die at the same time as they self-destruct.
Poison mainly comes out from between the inner segments of the stomach.
This poison is made up of strong chemicals and sticky adhesive-like ingredients.
No matter how much you use, the poison cannot be removed, and it sticks tightly to the corpse, preventing it from moving.

It is said to be fatal to insects, including enemy ants, and even causes small animals such as small lizards to run away.
