Ants

Did you guys know that theres flying ants???? I found out last year and I actually couldnt believe it, until I checked it out on google!!!

Yep. I get them around my place all of the time in the summer. Hahaha. I find it funny that someone didn't know this - but then again, it all depends on where you're from....maybe you have flying centipedes where you are. If that is true, then I pity you, centipedes are the only bugs that actually scare me. Blah.

Maybe they're onyl in Canada? I dunno?!?

I never knew this.

Flying centipedes??? lol now thats something no one will believe!! That's nasty!! Man I cant sand ants on the ground, now they fly?? hmmmm...I wonder whats next.......

Did you guys know that Locusts are actually grasshoppers that have mutated due to drought?

Bloody double posts.

Never heard of a locust...is that something you learn in school?? Cuz if it is, then I've been out of school for too long lol.

No, I learned it on the discovery channel.

Locusts are HUGE grasshopper things that fly in what people call "plagues" (you know, a flock of geese, a school of fish, a plague of locusts.)

They eat everything in site....they are insane and can cause many problems with people. (they eat vegetation and such, so if they come across crops, they'll eat 'em all.) They're crazy.

Yeah it's pretty insane.

Very interesting......

Freaky o_O

Weird...

Ewww... no, not cool, ants are gross!!!

.:Danielle:.

Very very VERY gross!!!

They're everywhere here when summer rolls around. (Flying ants, that is.)

I HATE flying ants. They get into your hair and buzz. Then their wings fall out and they just die. What exactly is the point to them?

Indeed.

Meep.
Too insane for me.

Wait there wings fall off?? Why do they have wings if they're gonna fall off??

I don't REALLY know, but I think flying ants are designed to move and spread ant-colonies....don't quote me on that, though.

OH OH I'VE HEARD OF THEM! Up in Mason we used to get the buggers all the time. Hurt like hell when they bite though......left horrible bumps

Hahaa omg
thats weird to read post bout people who have never heard of flying ants.
because over here [in aus] they're really common in my area, & everywhere else i have travelled.

anyone seen them glowing bugs that fly?
umm fireflies maybee?
now they are cool to seee =]]

LOL. I knew that. They are extremely SCARY, haha. They really freak me out. What if they landed on your arm or something? Eww.

I'm not sure why they exist. It's like Christmas Beetles (Not too sure what they're called around the world), they come out after the rains, fly around, bug the living CR@P out of people, and then die. I really find nature intriguing and fascinating...
