## Species Aligned With Math Rock & Instrumental Virtuoso

- [American Cockroach](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/american-cockroach/) (*Periplaneta americana*)
  - **Musical Match**: Hella, "Republic of Rough and Ready"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Drums that switch patterns at full tilt without losing speed, for a sprinter that switches to running on four legs and on two at up to 50 body lengths per second.
  - **Superpower**: Switches from six-legged to four-legged and two-legged running at up to 50 body lengths per second
- [Asian Weaver Ant](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/asian-weaver-ant/) (*Oecophylla smaragdina*)
  - **Musical Match**: Chon, "Splash"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Complex hyper-technical polyrhythms and tight interlocking fretwork, for an ant whose teams interlock, the average force each individual contributes almost doubling as the team grows.
  - **Superpower**: Pulling teams in which each ant's average force nearly doubles as the team grows, while other workers glue the leaves with silk squeezed from their own larvae.
- [Banded Archerfish](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/banded-archerfish/) (*Toxotes jaculatrix*)
  - **Musical Match**: Polyphia, "Playing God"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Technically demanding and precisely executed, like a math rock riff: it builds a self-amplifying water jet that hits harder than its own muscles could manage alone, then predicts exactly where its prey will land before the splash.
  - **Superpower**: A pulsed water jet that gathers its own mass mid-air into a single, hard-hitting slug
- [Hummingbird Hawk-Moth](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/hummingbird-hawk-moth/) (*Macroglossum stellatarum*)
  - **Musical Match**: Covet, "shibuya"
  - **Biological Rationale**: The moth hovers in front of a flower while sensors in its antennae steer rapid turns. Covet's shibuya keeps its tapped guitar lines tight to the beat while they change direction from bar to bar.
  - **Superpower**: Hovers in front of flowers, and the sensors in its antennae help it control rapid turns
- [Malabar Giant Squirrel](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/malabar-giant-squirrel/) (*Ratufa indica*)
  - **Musical Match**: Polyphia, "G.O.A.T."
  - **Biological Rationale**: It can leap six meters or more between trees, and it feeds standing on its hind legs with its large tail as a counterweight. G.O.A.T. is built the same way: guitar runs that jump far along the fretboard and land balanced on the beat.
  - **Superpower**: Leaps of six meters or more between trees, and eagle-sized nests of leaves and twigs
- [Red-Bellied Piranha](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/red-bellied-piranha/) (*Pygocentrus nattereri*)
  - **Musical Match**: Battles, "Tonto"
  - **Biological Rationale**: A piranha's triangular teeth interlock with a matching set above, a design that gives its bite shearing ability. Battles build "Tonto" from guitar and drum parts that slot into each other like gears.
  - **Superpower**: Triangular, razor-sharp interlocking teeth that bite down with great force and shearing ability
- [Southern Black Widow](https://animaltracks.wiki/animals/southern-black-widow/) (*Latrodectus mactans*)
  - **Musical Match**: Intervals, "I'm Awake"
  - **Biological Rationale**: Instrumental math rock built from shifting, interlocking guitar lines, for a spider whose cobweb is built in an erratic manner with no distinguishable pattern.
  - **Superpower**: Venom that acts on the motor endplate to allow a massive release of noradrenaline and acetylcholine, causing excessive stimulation and fatigue of the muscle.
