Fire ants play chaos in America with their need to destroy anything technological. Watch here in this BBC clip to find out why and how.
A flood hits a fire ant colony in the Amazon jungle. An amazing chance to see footage on how the species has adapted to water to protect their queen. From the BBC.
Having lived in Texas and been bitten by countless fire ants, the scene at 2:00 is particularly terrifying.
ReplyDeleteAnd terrorism.
ReplyDeletehow does she not see the damn ants?

ReplyDeletewelcome to a new apocolypes, the ant apocolypes...
ReplyDelete@ZrazorRozenstrauch No, i'm just an idiot who misspeaks a great deal and by "might not", I actually meant "may not". Apologies for the confusion! :-)
ReplyDelete@Ten13Grl "Actually, if they're anything like roaches, they might not be able to survive a direct collision with a nuclear bomb"
ReplyDelete"Might not" suggests that there's even a possibility of survival. Unless you're talking about a collision with the physical unexploded bomb itself, which would be very heavy and probably squish the roach or ant.
@TheBanshoTenin I never understood why paper beat rock...
ReplyDelete@ZrazorRozenstrauch Where did I suggest a fire ant (or anything) could survive a direct collision with a nuclear bomb?
ReplyDelete@Ten13Grl LOL, i was playing a game on the classroom today, its like rock paper scissor but its like nuclear bomb vs human vs cockroach. The rule is nuclear>human>roach>nuclear
ReplyDelete@Ten13Grl Nuclear explosions are millions of degrees Celsius. Nothing living on earth could survive a direct collision with one or even to be within miles of one.
ReplyDelete@TheBanshoTenin Actually, if they're anything like roaches, they might not be able to survive a direct collision with a nuclear bomb, but they could shrug the fallout off like it never happened.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I have no idea if they'e comparable to roaches as far as radiation is concerned, but I do know that I hate them, as I'm deathly allergic to them.
Impossible to repel? How about a nuclear bomb. Ants never taste the power of human yet...
ReplyDeleteant nerds haha
ReplyDeleteNice!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beginning of a horror movie
ReplyDeleteis anyone else's skin crawling lol
ReplyDeleteROFLMAO@1:58!!!!!!!!! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA!
ReplyDeletethis is why i hate bugs....
ReplyDeleteif they were in my blender and i saw them....id put the cover on and start it
ReplyDeleteI was hoping that when the guy turned up that he would slice the bee hive :)
ReplyDeleteHow do you know if bee's target electricity or vibrations?
ReplyDeleteI'd like to drop all the fireants in my yard onto the cops using pepper spray on the OWS peaceful protestors. You'd see a bunch of nekid cops real quick.You'll do anything to get these fukkerz off you. A spraying would do the cops good and it would not only teach a lesson it would be funny as hell. Less than lethal technology in 6 legged form plus ants love pork I am told.
ReplyDelete@marieledoux Ants are in harmony because for an ant, there is no 'self'. Thus, you can postulate that the supposed 'harmony' of the ant is better for the environment or what have you, but only a being possessed of a 'self' is even capable of appreciating that possibility, making the postulation in the first place.
ReplyDeleteHarmony without awareness is merely a biologically contaminated rock floating pointlessly through vacuum.
So If I put fire ants under my shoe, I can walk on water?!!?!!
ReplyDeleteAnyone else wanna throw a rock on it?
ReplyDelete@needed92 nonsense? I think humans are nonsense, i still like them and being one of them but i prefer the way ants are in harmony with everything. You should read books from Bernard Werber... he explain that way better than me.. Thanks for the information tho
ReplyDeleteAnt: You know we could have just you that fallen tree to cross the river
ReplyDeleteQueen Ant: Son of a..
@baar34 Actually Queen fire ants can only use their wings one time, when its gonna find a new nest, but if they already are at the new nest her muscles that controll the wings get disembarked when done so....
ReplyDeleteI need a humongous rock....

ReplyDeleteEven the Egyptian and Mayans learned alot from ants there are my favorite insects they work together as one! Even humans do it
ReplyDeleteThe Queen is the mother thats why she gets the respect or they get the respect theres more than one Queen
