ParticipantI get very entertained learning about crazy animals and the shit they get up to being all naturey, so here’s where we can leave some neat stuff.
Quote:During floods or heavy rainstorms, underground fire ant nests will full up with water and force the ants to evacuate their home. Instead of scattering individually, fire ants (Solenopsis invicta) have the unique ability to gather together as a colony and form rafts on the surface of the rising waters using their own bodies. A layer of ants on the bottom of the raft serves as a base for the rest of the colony to “comfortably” mill around on. Due to the tightly knit “weave” of the ants, water cannot penetrate the raft allowing the ants to stay dry. This water-tight nature provides the raft with the buoyancy force necessary to float. The ants can remain in the raft formation for weeks if necessary or until the floodwaters subside and they are able to establish their colony in a new underground home.http://antlab.gatech.edu/antlab/The_Ant_Raft.html

KeymasterYet another reason why fire ants are so incredibly terrible… I think water should kill the fire.
I’ve seen these formations in smaller configurations floating around our pool as a kid.

Participanton me or in the house and i want to kill them with death but on TV or outside i love to watch them.

KeymasterWe have a lot of the insects on that list, but thankfully the last few are not among then. Bullet Ant? Are you fucking kidding me? I never want to be thrown naked into a pile of those. Maybe that’s what the ants were supposed to be in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?
Oh, no wait, those were just lazy stupid fucking writing ants, or their latin name “Scribus forde Paydaius”.

big hairy spiders shouldn’t be allowed to be on big leaves at shoulder height.
