Oh wow that's creepy, and in no way would I want to put my hand in there.

Can you honestly tell me that there aren't any thought processes going on in these spider species brains ?

[Blue Frost]

Many insects, and spiders want gifts of food before sex, it shows that they are worthy, and have good instincts for survival.
Some birds do the same thing.

I imagien this spider's bite doesn't feel so good at either. Australia and extremely poisonous snakes,poisonous ants [ that can also kill ] spiders, very lethal jellyfish.

Shes lucky not to have lost more, it will rot away a lot more area usually.
A friend of mine was bit, and had to have a large skin graph on his hand, and arm, he almost lost his hand.

I am glad people don't have any parasites that do what this fly does to ants

Crazy scary critters.

[Gary Oak]

I remember seeing a giant ant in borneo. These ants in the article and picture are over an inch long. That black species looks like one with a stinger too.

They are related to wasp, I can see why they are big as they are.
Our biggest here are Carpenter ants, and the biggest nuisance. They are a corner off our roof, and started on another one till I got in to exterminate them.
I then had to cut down three trees, and a line of hedge they lived in. I found 4 nest in one tree.

Maybe if your fishing for great whites you could put one of these on a hook

The stupid idiot, they are harmless to people, and are good guys.
it would have been better to just get it up with something, and take it out. coax it out even.

[Gary Oak]

This is neat. Check out the video and see for yourself.

I'm glad Ant Lions isn't big as cows.

[Gary Oak]

Look at how huge these termite queens swell up to. I have never seen one in real life.



This documentary is I would have really enjoyed when I was a boy.

[Blue Frost]

That's a good size queen, bigger than the American ones I have seen.
i think they are really nasty looking, bunch of nasty guts.

When I was a kid we got them in the front of the house, had to get them sprayed, it smelled bad
The bad thing about a newer house back then, they used to take a lot of the wood garbage from building the house, and just bury it around the foundation.

Venus Flytraps can count. Do these bugs that the Venus Flytrap feed on have to deal with a carnivorous plant that can actually think ?

I saw the other day that a bug that stays still might have a chance at escape, the plant will open again.
