[Matej]

Haha I love how that article is written.

I wonder who would win if the Japanese hornets attacked a hive of Africanized bees.

[jackjack]

Don't blame me, Eddie, they gave you the FAIREST of warnings before you clicked "play" on that one.

[revat619]

Anybody seen that documentary on the discovery channel about those crazy ass ants they were talking about? Pretty f'ing intense!

[slidingsky]

That was interesting:barf:

"A Human Bot Fly larvae, burrowing into your brain. Eating your thoughts."

Yeah, I saw that, they were talking about how they're not only vicious when they bite, they're also POISONOUS and that people were dying from the bites.

[Antihero983]

Good Fucking God.

[exitspeed]

I hate insects. FUCKIN HATE'EM. I swear they are the #6 reason I don't move to a warmer climate (down south).

I can't stop itchin! SOB!

[aznpoopy]

that bot fly maggot thing was crazy huge

[kingkilburn]

Haha I love how that article is written.

I wonder who would win if the Japanese hornets attacked a hive of Africanized bees.
From what I have seen the bees have no way to physically harm the hornets.
They would damn sure fight though. It would be like a 5,000 to 1 fight and the hornets would still come out on top.

That reminds me, know you know where Nintendo got the idea for this;

youd be praying for a potato bug if you were starving

[junkyiv]

Nature rules over all our sorry asses!!! Potato bugs are crazy and will bite the fuck out of you if your not careful. Too bad some of these bugs aren't even bigger then life would be hella crazy! Imagine getting strafed by giant bugs! HAHAHA! Here's another scary thought, what if Hummingbirds were the size of Seagulls?! :hyper:

[ASIA]

Those hornets were brutal! I remember seeing a discover channel/animal planet/tlc/whatever special on these insects. Some scientist purposefully put a bot fly maggot onto his hand to show everyone how it burrows into your skin.

[SimpleS14]

hornets



Interesting read, I'm glad I didn't look at any of the vids.

[S13Boosts]

:barf: ewwwwwww...

[status:one]

I have seen those Bot fly videos before... sickening.

[driftyour40]

youd be praying for a potato bug if you were starving

no I wouldn't. I can't even look at them for to long let alone eat them. Do people eat them?

I like the woven ant test, sounds like a great idea.

[DreamN]

Japanese Hornet FTW!!!

That army ant is freakin crazy! Shit freaked me out when I saw the photo. Bugs are evil. Remember that.

OMFG WTF?!?!?!?!?!? :eek2:

[BustedS13]

OMFG WTF?!?!?!?!?!? :eek2:

"Belostomatinae females oviposit on the males' dorsum. The male will raise the eggs exposing them to air periodically to discourage the growth of fungus and maintain the viability of the eggs, or conduct a series of movements below the water known as brood pumping that increases the amount of oxygen diffusion. The eggs will hatch in approximately three weeks but their hatching time will decrease as temperature rises.'

just eggs, son. not sure about the red shit, but the tubes are eggs on a whipped bug's back.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Thanks for the nightmares Philip...

[DreamN]

dude, that's some freaky alien looking shit.

[Matej]

I have one of these RadioShack pocket microscopes, I used to always look at dead bugs with it, some some look crazy weird up close. Once I had a tick on my arm and I looked at it through the microscope and I could clearly see it going vampire on my blood, it was really disturbing.
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31533APYJFL._AA280_.jpg
By the way if you have an extra 10$ laying around I recommend you pick one of those up, you can see some really interesting things through them, and the view is better than any of the science microscopes I've ever used at school.

actually, on nat. geo. i think, they were doing a story about these hornets....20 or 30 of them ended up attacking a hive of thousands of africanized bees....all hornets survived

africanized bees: 0

They mentioned that in that article at the beginning of this post too, then went on to explain how the hornets ate what they wanted of their kill.

[eastcoastS14]

^^ japanese bees actually have ways to kill the hornets....its just european bees that are helpless because the have not evolved with the japanese hornets as predators...they are an invasive species or many times european bees are in japan cause they produce more honey than the native bees.....

the Japanese honey bees kill the hornets by swarming all over the scout hornet....they swarm on it then vibrate their bodies which causes the temperature inside the swarm to rise to where the hornet just basically gets cooked to death and never returns to let the rest of the hornet colony know where the bee hive is

[InlineS13]

"According to Wikipedia, japanese honey bees can kill the huge wasps by covering them in a giant "bee ball" and freaking BAKING THEM with heat generated by wiggling their muscles really fast. BAD ASS"

This guy said it better. lol This is from the first link.
Freaking Japanese stuff. Just like Japanese cartoons with robots that form together and stuff. Crazy Japanese.

[DreamN]

arachnids are a whole 'nother world of freaky shit. just looking at those pix I'm getting all paranoid about spiders.

[FRpilot]

Imagine getting strafed by giant bugs! HAHAHA! Here's another scary thought, what if Hummingbirds were the size of Seagulls?! :hyper:

i would imagine they would be cute. a giant ass hummingbird with a 3 feet nector sucking needle thing.. unless they developed a thirst for human blood.

[jeeper_x]

Lol! Dawg i could be wrong but dat shit looks like a cobra. I could be wrong but i dont think any snake is classified as an insect.... I would tke on a cobra anyday rather than a damn spider that eats birds or a fly that eats ur brain.

yea, cobras are kind of gay......

neurotoxin of a cobra just paralyzed you for an hour then you die instantly.......

so, yea, bugs are way scarier......:ugh:

anyways, i live in los angeles now......

so, i don't have to deal with these fuckers anymore....:D

[firelizard]

Jesus Christ! Why did I open this before going to bed? bad idea...

I knew bugs were awful, crawly, disgusting things, but the thought of a giant maggot chomping on my cerebellum is just too much.

Think of the bright side, when you sleep, you're sleeping ontop of and with thousands and thousands of bugs.

[DoriftoPnoy]

omg. super informative but wow. gave me the shivers.

+1 for the japanese hornet

[firelizard]

Ugh, just walking to the kitchen and back to my bedroom I was paranoid, afraid of stepping on some giant bug with slimy eggs on its back, or bigass ants coming out of the hand towel.

[j00ni3]

haha no

I wish I was a human sized one of any of those bugs

[turtl631]

I've been stung by a bullet ant. It definitely sucks, and while I haven't been shot, I'm guessing it's not as bad as that. I did lose some sensation and control in the arm that got stung for a few hours, which was unnerving.

I also have some friends who have had botflies. One girl had one on her ass, and a guy had 5-6 of them, all on his shoulder or upper back. It looks like a huge infected pimple, and the larvae are indeed huge. They breathe through a small tube, and supposedly you can put a piece of meat over the larva and it will burrow up into the meat because you've blocked off it's air supply. The people I knew just ripped them out though, kind of like popping a huge zit.

I guess the moral of the story is: be careful in Costa Rica and other tropical places where everything wants to either sting you or live in you :)
