The video, a brainchild of the head of the Evolutionary Biology & Behavior Lab at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, Adrian Smith, sees him explaining the whole procedure, from the venom being pumped out of the ant's stinger to being injected into the skin.

As a concluding statement, the biologist is found saying that in one second an ant is capable of injecting almost 13 venomous droplets or more depending upon the back and forth movements of the lancets and its speed.
