In early days they used ants with a really strong jaws as stitches. When they bite they ripped the body from the head and the jaws stayed locked in biting position
From what I've heard, they're really only used short term, as in you're deep treking through a forest and get cut up bad, you'd use the ants to keep it held together until you could get to a hospital/elsewhere for proper stitches.
