Cephalotes manni
Cephalotes manni is a species of arboreal ant of the genus "Cephalotes", characterized by an odd shaped head and the ability to "parachute" by steering their fall if they drop off of the tree they're on. Giving their name also as gliding ants. The species is native of Nicaragua and a large part of the north of South America. Their larger and flatter legs, a trait common with other members of the genus "Cephalotes", gives them their gliding abilities. The species was first given a description and a classification in 1951 by Brazilian entomologist Walter Wolfgang Kempf
