If you want to learn more about Gigantiops destructor, which is a well studied, documented ant you can't do better than the following video. There is slow motion footage of their movement, and they are a delight to watch.

And it only makes me wonder even more... what is Santschiella kohli like?

(It's possible to keep Gigantiops destructor, they are gentle ants, don't sting, and they eat a mix of live insects and nectar. If I lived anywhere near them I'd have colony!)
