The mandibles of the trap-jaw ant Odontomachus hastatus locked reflex fastest ever recorded in the animal kingdom. The ant jaws accelerate from zero to 143 mph (230 kph) in 0.13 milliseconds, 2300 times faster than the blink of an eye. When suspended against the hard body of a predator, the explosion thrust of the jaw ant throws in the air, out of the attacker's way.

What is the average human reaction time is?

Depends on a lot of factors. Perception to finger movement is somewhere in the ballpark of .215 seconds "average". Average range is something like .14 to .33 seconds. Reaction times as low as .1 seconds are likely possible but hard to measure consistently. Reaction times below .12 seconds would make you part of an elite minority.
