@futurebird @dlakelan @twizzt "From Ancient Greek κρεμᾶτ- (kremât-), root of κρεμᾶται (kremâtai, 'hanging'), a middle-voice form of κρεμάω (kremáō, 'to hang'), + -ο- + γαστήρ (gastḗr, 'belly'). As in the case of the common name 'acrobat ant', this name refers to the ant’s defense mechanism of hanging its abdomen above its head and thorax in order to expel venom from its tip."
